Nice bird. Where did you shoot it.

What state or counrty?

Very nice shot.

Thank you all very much for the words of encouragement. Yes, I'm hooked on hummers Alandra, they are beautiful birds and so tiny. I'll have to try that unsharp mask Silverdeb, it's fun to experiment with these photos. Mary, that little tuft was driving me nuts, I just wanted to pluck it for him. That is what I meant by him needing a shave :-). Thanks again all, Don

Terrific job. So sharp and such detail in the feathers.

This one really stands out. The background blends well with spot on depth of field to get the eye and neck in focus, with the beak leading the way out to soft focus. The yellow flowers at left give a nice balance that doesn't compete with your main subject. A gentle touch of unsharp mask around the eye (selected on its own) would give it a piercing dramatic extra touch, if you wanted to experiment further.
