I am incredibly jealous. A wonderful opportunity, wonderfully shot.
Is this handheld or tripod-based? I see this is at 1/60th with a 400mm lens. I can't imagine her being patient and trusting enough to let you set up a tripod, but I can't imagine getting this crisp a shot at that speed without it.

Back to comment: Neat shot that we don't see very often. I like the catchlight in the eye and the composition. Nicely done.

I have never seen a hummingbird's nest. This is so neat! I can feel the warmth of the parent bird! :-)

Flip the photo horizontally so bird is facing left

Cute, rare humming bird that is not in motion. It would look cool if you could get this pic while the sun is rising/setting for the pinks/reds to add to the warmth.

A lovely nature shot. I once came nose to beak with one of these, who'd built their nest on a low branch of a tree I was passing. SO tiny!

looks like it's a little out of focus, but definitely an 8

As someone who enjoys photographing birds, I'm jealous! There is a bit of noise, but still nice to see.
