    Very nice Joe. Lovely colours throughout and I like the splash of reds/ruby on the throat. Gives the image a nice colour boost. Pleasing to the eye.

    Hi Joe nice capture of this lovely Humming Bird .
    I do like the pose and the overall simplicity , having the leafs in the LRC does help to fill the overwhelming emptiness . The BG is very sterile , but nothing you can do ...
    Nice details and sharpness in the subject .
    I am not 100 % about the overall colors , Joe , does look very greenish ... does work good with the BG but I think the subject does need another color balance . Specially the belly is reflecting the overall greenish/ yellowish " cast " . Personally I would work the subject separately on the color front .

    Still a pleasing image , Joe

    Hi Andreas, thank you for viewing and commenting. I agree that the colors appear very greenish, my lawn and the grass on the golf coarse cause reflected green light on the subject. I tried to remove it but did not like the result, so I went with the original colors.
