I photographed this hummingbird at the wonderful Canopy Lodge in Panama. I used a hummingbird set up with 5 remote flashes, an artificial background, and one on-camera flash. I placed sugar water into the blossoms at my set up to attract the birds and get natural poses at flowers. However in this image, the flower looked very wilted, and I used a Quick Mask to redo the flower. You can learn Quick Masking techniques in Robert O'Toole's APTATS.
