Peewee the Hummer

Despite the tiny amount of softness in the detail, this is still a very nice image.  Rain will do that but the trade-off is that you get colors that cannot be reproduced when the sun is out..  This shows in both the background and on the bird itself.  The water droplets on the beak are a plus.  Yes you could probably get away with some localized sharpening and I don't know whether it would detract from the image or not.  While a smaller perch is preferable with a small bird, you can't dictate their behavior.

This is lovely Jim. While the body appears soft, the detail in the head is good and the colors are beautiful. Perfect BG too. 

Detail looks good in the larger image, Jim, and I like the pose and bg.  I'd be tempted to crop top and bottom to get rid of the more oof portion of the perch.

The perch and the overall composition look very good to me. I feel that the focus point is more on the throat of the bird, rather than on the eye, and hence the head and the right side of the body of the subject are out of focus. I can't understand why there is such a shallow depth of field, even though you have shot this at f13!

Hi Jim, I like the pose a lot and love the dried moss on the perch. I also like the placement i the frame. However, as you stated it's a bit soft. I am wondering why you shot this at f/13? Were you trying to get the entire perch in focus? If mine, I might have sacrificed that for less DOF so you could increase your SS. I think the 1/250 is partially to blame for the softness of the image. If you would opened your Aperture to something like f.6.3 or even f/7.1 (both of which should be plenty of DOF for a small humming bird) you would have been able to shoot this with more SS and I think solved your softness issue.
