Sharp as a tack from get to go; all on a buttery smooth BG. No nits.

Man, what can you say...Perfect pose and lovely colors in the HB. The backround looks great too. The sugar water is a really good idea!

Classic hummingbird image, Nate. Great wing position and look at the iridescence.
Did you use a strobe to freeze the wings or is it just the high SS?

Thanks for your comments everyone. Govind, this is a natural light image, no strobes, flash or articificial background involved. The high shutter speed froze the wings, when they are at the top like this you don't even need that much speed sometimes.
