Dark area or not you managed to get a great picture. Nice colors & bg.
A very nice Hummingbird but then, they all are...very sharp head and gorget, thanks for sharing
Very attractive Hummingbird. It looks the the top of the head and and back are a bit soft.
Is 1/25 accurate? That would explain it, was a flash possible?

Stunning colors on a very beautiful bird. What a wonderful pose and HA.
Very tricky image but you did exceptionally well. I appreciate the light was low, however I would suggest ISO 800 and a slightly smaller aperture would have given a tad more DOF and the rear of the head would then have been in focus, easier said than done, I appreciate the difficult circumstances.
Jim, excellent sharpness at that SS. I am liking the shallow DOF here..puts the focus on the sharp killer feathers and the eye. perfect HA.
Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions.
Simple perch which brings out the beauty of the bird even more. Great pose, nice head turn and lovely background, Jim.
Very nice hummer, if mine, I would warm the exposure a tad.
