I’ve been seeing a hummingbird coming in to our Cleveland Sage that’s lit by the evening sun against our shaded wall. I like the contrast.
Is this a composite: No

Gorgeous, Dave. The detail in both the hummer and the flower are fantastic. The OOF background works quite well in setting off the bird and the flower. Very nicely done.
A nice capture Dave. Hummer position is really nice and I too like the contrast. I don’t care for the flower in the lower left and I’d opt to remove it.
There’s also a hard black line about a 1/5 of the way up in the background that seems off. Maybe it’s the edge of a wall or something, but I’d work to soften that distinction.
Hi Dave
You gave us a nice looking Hummingbird. The framing is set with the follows bring your eye to the Hummingbird. The clipping in the blue follows, I think could be handled in photoshop with a light blue fill brush. As for the dark linel in the lower frame, maybe a blur brush can be used to soften the edge? Nice work.

Wow! This is beautiful, Dave! You froze the action perfectly, it’s beautiful lighting and I love the little feet hanging down!
