Indeed! And it makes me wonder if this would have grabbed the red with a tighter/square crop ...

Congratulations
Lovely image, there is something that intrigues me about images that have been done before and yet always always look new and fresh because they are shot in a different way. Your image is beautiful.

Beautiful - perfect exposure on the hummingbird. In a perfect world, I’d love a more interesting background, but nonetheless an impressive photo.

Another great hummingbird picture. I love the movement in the wings while the bird is perfectly sharp.
