Yes, as everybody said, this is a gorgeous image.
I will try to make a good criticism of it.
One point that is amazing on this picture is the way you showed this hummingbird : in front of small asters : it give us a size of it... before clicking, I thought it was an insect.
The technical aspects of the image are well made : it is sharp, well exposed, the background and foreground are beautiful...
The downside point for me is that the flowers are a little bit to bright so my stare is attracted by it instead of the bird. It is something you can't do against but that is disturbing.
Best regard

Thank you for your criticism. I appreciate you thoughts.

I agree that the flowers are a bit too bright.

Unfortunately, these Hummingbirds are migrating. They are only present for a few days each fall and one must accept the prevailing light.
I chose not to use PhotoShop.
