Excellent, Bill.  I love the wing and tail positions and the ant is a fun addition.  Does this flower open into something gaudier?  It seems awfully nondescript for a typical hummingbird flower.

Very nice, Bill. Good capture of the bird. Nice management of challenging light, too. The composition is just a little centered for my taste, but that's a personal preference.
