    The subject and detail of this image are awesome. I wish I could get an image of a hummer even 1/4 as good as this one.
    The only thing (personal preference) is the crop. Seems a little tight on top.
    Aside from that I can't stop looking at it. Phenomenal!

    Hi Raymond,

    Fantastic exposure, sharpness, colors, head angle and background. However, at least for me an image of a bird with no reference point leaves something to be desired, and although I'm glad you cloned out the feeder, was there anything else, e.g. a flower, that could have complemented the bird?

    Lovely image Raymond, love the colours of these birds, they must be lots of fun to photograph. I like the plain smooth BG and upright pose of the bird TFS

    Beautiful pose and lovely background. I like how the background colors complement the hummer's colors.

    The speed of those wings !!! even at 1/5000 , there is a bit of blur on the far wing . Loved the colours and the BG makes it stand out. Awesome one !!
