Hi David  
The Hummingbird looks nice. Its’ coloring, detail and wing motion are very good. The background just need a flower. (if only the birds would cooperate). You have a nice looking Hummingbird.

This is beautiful, David. I love the tail and the wing blur suits my taste perfectly. Very well done.
