Hello, David. What I do like particularly like about this image is the hint of vegetation in the background, which makes an all-natural shot. The larger image looks great on the bird, the BG looks a little 'dotty' - not sure whether that's noise, or something else? You may try selectively get rid of that. Other than that I love it ! Cheers, Hans

David, I agree that the OOF vegetation adds to the framing. I like the gradient of the surroundings and natural light.

Nice wing position and pose Dave, and I like the position with respect to the flower. I think it might work even better if you reformatted it to a more horizontal image with a touch of canvas added on the left. To my eye, it feels like there's more space above and below than needed.

Fine capture of the hummer in natural light, David. I like the uniform color tones in the entire image. The foreground flower and oof background vegetation add a lot.
