Andy!
Wow! This is really pretty.
Nice gentle fluffy flower and omnious searching lights in the background (which at first glance suggested to me a runway rather than a parked cars).
And a hummingbird, undercarriage up, humming...
Yeah!

Wow, a stunning shot for sure, well done! You've caught the face beautifully and the leaves in front of it form a wonderful kind of almost border. I think I would've preferred it without the intentional blur, or at least a slight levels boost (to strengthen the black and lighten the white) but that's just me. Great work!

Hi Andy, the blue sky really caught my eye on this. Excellent detail you captured, makes me want to get out and by a zoom lens.

superb!
as david states, this can not be a easy shot, plus 200mm is not exectly a extremely long tele, so you must be pretty close...
beautiful picture Andy

I've never seen bokeh made such an integral part of a beautiful picture before. Really, really weird bokeh, too. This is a splendid image. It's strange how you have motion blur in the wings in this image, taken at 1/1000th, and none in the other picture of a humming bird taken at 1/500th. Perhaps they were flapping their wings at different rates?

What better photo could you have as your personal "intro"? I suggest you upload it as the photo of you to head your portfolio! Kudos for your mother-in-law, too...

Thanks Ali and everyone...
This all started because my mother-in-law would like a hummingbird triptych for mothers day.
Fortunately I have some very cooperative hummingbirds at work. They are very friendly and allow me within a couple feet of them.
Here I was about 4 feet from the little guy, the circles are caused by glare from car windows in the parking lot about 50 feet beyond on the bush. The Canon 70-200mm 4L creates stunning bokeh (perfect circles).
The lighting is interesting on this particular bush, as the sun is coming from behind the hummer and the fill lighting comes from reflection off the glass building behind me (4.5 feet from the bush).
Thanks again.

This image is stunning. How was it taken??? Is the ISO 200 the cause of the light circles???
This image should take an award...
