Another hummer portrait from this year's visitors. I was experimenting with higher aperture over shutter speed. Merry Christmas everyone!

The slow shutter speed worked perfectly here, the wings motion is fantastic and the background is fabulous. I would prefer a bit more space in front of the bird.

Techs look very good James, I especially like the complimentary colors of the BG.
Excellent job at 1/400th without flash, nicely done!
Hope you had a great Christmas, Happy New Year

Very nice James, I like the bg and the sharp head and blurred wings.

This works well for me, James. Nice background and I like the sharp bird with blurred wings and the tiny drop of moisture on the bill. Bird might be a little centered though....
