Welcome! Sharp, good exposure, and a lovely back on this hummer. The two biggest problems are the merge of the bill with the stem and the single ugly leaf...
later and love, artie
ps: How far are you from my younger daughter in Bratislave, Slovokia?

I should add that I am a lover of your city, that I was fortunate to visit a few years ago and would love to see again...
The first thing that jumps to my eye is the out of focus leaf on the left, a little prominent and distracting. The head angle is not optimal but he is after all, using his bill on the leaf, so I can be OK with that. Depth of field was very shallow, f/4, rendering the body soft, although you did good of focusing on the head.
I would have gone up to iso 800 to get a smaller aperture.
Hope we can make your BPN experience and exciting one and that we'd be able to help you improve your photographic skills :)
