I captured this picture of this unknown species of hummingbird in San Diego after the fires. The sky was very unusual and it made for a great background.

Nice hummer image. My preference would be to not have it so centered.

Rob, The BG is great. The sharpness and detail is wonderful. i would have backed off on the flash a bit as this has a very flashed look to it for me.

Appears a bit overflash and centered. However, a sharp, well exposed image.
