Hi David  
I think my brain see the flower and Hummingbird as two independent photographs. The Hummingbird pops right out of the frame and the flower looks like a separate photograph. (Parkinson’s???)  
I don’t have an answer. Nice work.

Nice contrasting background with the flower. Good detail in the hummer and just enough wing blur to suggest motion. Well done.

I like the way the flower shows through the near wing, David. Nice job on the reds in the bee balm. The background flower directly behind the foreground one adds a nice touch to the image. I think you nailed the processing on the hummingbird-nice and sharp without looking overdone.
