Nice work, Kurt. I like the image, nice color palette, feather detail sharp, pure background. Thank you for sharing.

Another strong image. That set-up is really kicking out some great stuff. Beautiful lighting and color. Composition is perfect. Nice!
The bird looks very good indeed, the flower head appears rather loaded with contrast and saturation. A little less saturation and a lowering of highlights helps.... easily fixed (and more effectively) at raw conversion
Purely on a personal level I am not keen on the featureless background... but that is just me.
Hi Kurt ... love everything about it !!!
Wish this is mine.Would love to shoot hummers one day .....

Hi Kurt. I'm with Andreas here. Only seen Hummingbirds on the TV. Must admit though, I would tone down the highlights on the flower.
Love to see a hummer shot like this in natural light. Love it all - pose, wing position, comp, detail. Maybe the very top blossom is oversaturated, but doesn't bother me. Nicely done.
Super cool! Nice feeding pose, great-looking flower. Nice iridescence, and the bit of blue just below the cheek is really neat. If anything I'd be OK with 10-15% more room all around as it is getting a bit big in the frame, but still on the good side of things.
