Nice pose and head turn. The background distracts a little IMO and could probably be toned down a little(especially the leaves below the bird to the left) and also blurred(???).

Love the sharpness all the way down to the wing tips Joe. Such a beautiful bird.

Background is natural-looking but not especially attractive. But how often do you get to choose the background ?

Just getting a hummingbird to sit still long enough to be photographed is difficult enough.

Very sharp, nice image. I've photographed at Alambi and I know how difficult it is to get a clean bg.
