A real beauty, Keith. Nice details and light, and the background is really complimentary. To me the lighting looks very natural. You have got those flashes set up right. 👍👍 ---

A beautiful pose on the hummer with superb lighting and detail, Keith. I’m not familiar with this flower-is it local? ---

@Dennis_Plank. Yes the flower is a local flower. We have some that are white and some that are purple. ---

The diagonal bird and plant make this comp work quite well. If possible, I might cit the highlights on the plant a tad. But that is a rather minor issue. Needs to be seen large.
