Trying for more varied backgrounds on these hummingbird shots. Background is a photo print I made. Five flash set up. Flower dipped in sugar water.
Canon 7D2, 400 DO II, 1.4x TC III, tripod, five speedlites @ 1/8 power.
ISO 200, f20, 1/250s
Any comments appreciated.

Very nicely done, Allen. Had you not told me that was a photo print for the background, I would never have know. Looks so natural. Great position of the hummingbird right at the flower, but all of his beak is showing. Nice lighting, making the throat show up nicely. Just overall an excellent shot in my opinion.
Perfect shot. I have used prefabricated backgrounds before, but they never turned out this well. Nicely done.
