    Hi Joseph. I like this very much. Lovely pose, sharpness and colours. Hope one day to be able to see a Hummingbird, but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon (thank you Covid). There does seem to be some noise in the BG, mainly on the upper left quarter. TFS

    That's a cracker! Great focus colour and detail - well done! I can see I need a fire bush!

    Neat! Floating there with a small gap at the tip of the bill. I do feel it is a touch too high in the frame IMO, but I like the image overall. It'd be nice to see one with the flower showing in the frame too.

    Beautiful shot Joe. Details and sharpness are superb. Touch of a flower as mentioned would be a great contrast and add to the image. I'm sure you have one coming. TFS

    Quite a nice hummer frame. I like the pose and framing.
