Beautiful birdie. I wish I wasn't so distracted by that red of the feeder.

What a fabulous close-up of this hummingbird! Love how you can see all the wonderful details of it's plummage - and those shimmering greens are lovely to look upon. I know that it is difficult to capture these birds stationary but I am going to offer my suggestion anyhow. The stark white 'background' does nothing to complement this composition of the hummingbird. I do like that splash of red on the bird feeder for that adds a splash of color. The only thing that I can think of that you might have been able to do to eliminate the 'background' at the time of the shot is to have taken it at a slight angle (45 degrees to the subject) looking up such that the blue sky would then become the background. Then the blue sky would be a nicer complementary color to those wonderful greens pictured here....of course it would also depend on if there was a nice blue sky to be found on the day of this shot.
