 Tis a prize to me to capture this little fellow as have not been successful after many many attempts consequently entering him in the FS..
Of interest or not Hummingbirds have the tiniest feet as they do not walk on them.. They either perch or fly most comfortable flying..

If this is a ruby throat then your color mix seems off to me. Great shot otherwise.
