Gorgeous detail, Dan. I don't think I've ever seen that much detail in a hummingbird's plumage. It brings out some nice subtle coloration. :toast:

I like the simple comp and you nailed the focus on the eye.

Really nice look at this Anna's Dan. Love the lighting on the bird and the nice sharpness and DOF. The largish crop is evident, but in no way hurts this image IMO.

Very nice pose and the details look good for such a large crop Dan, it even looks like there is some pollen on the hummingbird's bill. I like the simple but interesting comp.

For such a large crop, the detail is amazing. I think your comp works well and the way the light is catching the bill looks good too.

Nice one, Dan.

Wow! This is an amazing picture! I wish that I was there photographing hummingbirds. I love the sharpness in the birds feathers. Great shot!
