Nice detail in the hummers body and head. I like the pose you caught it in and your BG. Thanks for sharing.

Well illuminated, I like the transparency of the primaries. Good sharpness on the entire hummer. The background is attractive and nicely oof, although the one bright spot below the hummer is slightly out of place. I'll agree about the need for more room on the right side.

Very good detail in this tough shot. Surprised you got it this sharp at 1/640. It should be easy to add canvas with this background if you want.
