Love the colors of the hummer and detail. Not crazy about the perch and the catchlight that seems to reflect structures. Just my thoughts.

Thanks for looking .... I agree a natural perch would be better. The catch light doesn't bother me much, it is rather prominent but I decided to just let be as captured. Appreciate the honest critique.

Who could resist such a beautiful shot, even if the perch isn't perfect. I'm not bothered by it, given those gorgeous colors in the bird. Nice matching background too. Would love to see more of this species!

Joel, Sharp image, especially considering it was with ambient light and only 250 shutter speed.
