    Joel, awesome technical hummer shot! Flash is the only way to capture these guys with this much detail. Good work with the setup. Excellent pose, color, detail, background, and composition. One more flash positioned up and to the right would fill out this bird completely. Good show!

    Joel,

    Nice setup, technical and text book. Seems a tad dark to me, especially in head area. I agree with a bit more light, love the pose, eye and HA.

    Looks as though he looked over right at you while you were photographing him. How awesome. Love everything about this one. Killer BG too.
