Nice perch and head turn but I think that background is killing it for me.

How about bluring the hek out of it ? :)

Hi Ted,

I like the image overall, the comp, positioning and the head turn are good.

Negatives for me is a lack of sharpness in the head area, other than the eye. The light is a little harsh. Lastly the BG is a bit of a problem for me also.

Still like it overall.

Good head position and composition on this relaxed cutie. The background is quite busy, but it can be difficult to find hummingbirds perched with a clean bg.
I would sharpen just the face a bit.

Thank you all so much for your suggestions-I will work on these ideas later today.
Appreciate your help.
Ted:)
