Great fun capturing images of these guys in southern Arizona. There was an abundance of Broad-bill hummers
Please comment

I really appreciate hummer images with a multiple flash system but have no experience with it. This doesn't seem to be as sharp as it should although I do like the bird's position. Is there a reason why you used F/25?

I agree on the sharpness being lacking. As far as the F25 goes, I would use whatever F stop seemed to create the best exposure and that would run usually between F/22 sometimes to F29.
Thanks for commenting.
When you say multiple flash, how many is multiple?
I find this one sharp enough and with good detail. The BG is what does not convince me at all, but is understandable at f/22
Tom, this image does have better color and more details in the bird than the one above. And I would prefer this one over the other. Still seems a bit soft to me as well. Please keep posting them.
