That is one pretty hummer in perfect composition, Joshua!
A few from my yard over the weekend. I still have at least three. It's amazing how the camera still managed yo pick out the eye to AF even though the eye was almost obscured by the wing.

Thank you very much, Doug! Your hummer images are excellent. Are you ready for Costa Rica or Ecuador before too long ?
Looking at a Grass Seed Tassel.
Tripod mounted A1 and Voigtlander 110mm Macro Apo-Lanthar lens. 2 Macro Focusing rails were used to position the camera and lens on the tripod head and tripod. The lower focusing rail for the X-axis (left and right postioning) was the Leofoto MP-180S and the upper focusing rail for the Y-axis (front and back positioning) was the Swebo LS001. Lighting was with Adaptalux studio with Control Pod 3.0 on a small carbon fiber tripod and 3 Adapalux white LED light arms were used.
ISO 100, f11, 2.5 Seconds; silent shutter.
Exposure Corrected -0.09 Stops.
