[Leica] Anna's Hummingbird

[Don Dory]

First, a very nice set.  For backgrounds I believe horses for courses.  The
shots with limbs in the background are a more representative vision of
hummers in the wild.  For detail on feathers and wing motion the very OOF
greens work very well in focusing attention on the anatomy and coloration.
Esthetically, the one image with strong golds and yellows in the background
with echoes of butterfly bush blooms.

Your one almost black background with heavily backlit wings would work well
with fill flash to bring up the body of the hummer; which I believe you
aren't a fan of.

The one feeding image is pretty normal shots that most people go for and is
already well covered almost everywhere.
