Very nice details and color. Alert pose and a pleasing BG. Interesting perch the hummer is on. Thanks for sharing.

A cool perch and excellent composition, John. I'm not sure of the ID-female hummers are tough. The blue highlights on the head make me suspect it's not an Anna's, but I haven't seen a lot of them, so take that with a grain of salt. I like the mood with the dim light, but wonder what it would look like brightened just a bit.

Nice pose and good detail. An excellent place for fill flash to help brighten up some of the color in the shadows. If done properly, and used at low power, a fill flash can work well with hummingbirds and not overpower the color.
