Hummer - Gilbert Arizona

[alexgwoodruff]

Hi all, first avian critique request!

This shot taken at the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert, Arizona. Hummer was attracted with a small sugar-water feeder (just out of shot).

Exif: Nikon D70 with 300mm AFS f4 and 1.4xTC. Shot at 1/500", f5.6, ISO 200, 420mm, Manual mode with SB600, TTL at 35mm zoom.

Nice job with single flash. May be a little more space at the bottom?

Sharpness, eye contact and BG look good. The image looks a bit dark on my monitor and I would run NR on the BG.

Thanks for the feedback - here is a quick edit of the original. I have adjusted levels, and run some noise removal. Comments ande criticism welcome.
