Resting hummer

I like the way I was able to get the BG all black. I think it sets the hummer off well.

the bird stands out really nicely, John, and the detail looks very good at this size. feels a little tight on the tail, but I also understand wanting to minimize the oof foreground element in the corner.

Nice detail and eye catchlight and I agree with your assessment of the BG.

Lots of great detail and tone. I really like it against the black, and although the llc is a bit distracting it's not a deal killer.
