    Nice sharp eye and good color. I see some blotchiness in the BG, like due to NR/JPEG artifact. The perch is a challenge for several reasons. First of all most of the perch is large and OOF in the frame. Also there's perch cutting across the wing, and a clump of perch in front of the bird's chest. Still a beautiful hummingbird!

    Peter, I have to agree with Doug on the perch. Too big, merge with the wings and OOF, takes away from an otherwise perfect HB image
