While "Green" may have been the first WC, we recently had a similar WC  in April 2018...  So I posted a similar HB.

David, this is a fine look at this hummer, with a nice eye highlight from the head turn and the fill flash.  The larger version show some fine glow in the gorget.  The bit of green growth looks good as well.

The out of focus background makes the hummingbird stand out nicely. The larger image shows the quality of the lens with all of the fine detail in those small feathers. I might consider a crop to remove the leaves and make this a vertical. I was told to not have your subject near edge of frame facing out of the picture. I don't know how sound that advice is but I tend to follow it usually.

NIce detail and isolation from the background. I like how the hummer appears to be looking back at the viewer.
