It's an interesting angle and detail is very good. The wings are in that awkward blurred trending to invisible stage; it's hard to tell without shooting data whether you could have shot a bit faster and gotten less blurring...

I like this Bill, nice view of the hummer´s backside and a lovely flower. If you have a bit more room on both left and right to include it´s full wings I think that would improve this. I´m seeing a fair bit of noise at the bottom of the image. It´s always good to post your shutter speed and iso to help us give you complete critiques. :toast:
