Pretty bird, nice capture.

I love everything about this, but have a couple of suggestions/questions.
1. I would leave more room to the right of the frame for the bird to look into. I would also not have that much space above the bird. Also, I would leave more space on the bottom of the frame.
2. Why f/9? This rendered the background to be pretty busy.

F9 ? I have a 1.4 Teleconverter on the lens. f5.6 = f9 I kinda like all the background colors and shapes. Not much I could do with that. Those are the fall colors on the Japanese Maple tree.

Sorry, didn’t realize you had the converter on.
I like the background too; it is nice and soft, definitely not too busy.

Nice capture. Agree that a little more room on the right and maybe the bottom would be a more effective composition
Very nice image. The bird is very sharp. The potpourri of colors in the background is an excellent complement. This image could be a reference for a watercolor painting.
Nice
Amazing colors and detail and great timing with the shot.

The colors on the hummer’s neck are repeated(mimicked) in the background, a very desirable detail. Excellent!

Nice pose, great detail. I agree that the blurred flowers in the BG add to the shot. I often have problems with OOF flowers in the BG of perched hummers. Sometimes, especially if it is an isolated bloom, the flower, even when blurred, can be a distraction. In your shot, the flowers are nicely blurred and are numerous enough to not present a colored "blob" in the BG. I like the shot.

Thanks! To add to that. Those colors in the background are not flowers. Bokeh from the leaves on the Japanese Maple Fall colors.

Wow! That must be an impressive tree in the autumn.
