Superb! Would be nice if you could provide some details such as camera, focal length and shutter speed.

Excellent.  The square crop works well.

Excellent shot, Jeremy. Clean, well composed and perfectly timed.

Thanks, all.

Sure: Sony A7Riv, 100-400mm at 300mm, f16, 1/200, flash.

Thanks. That's an interesting combination for a hummingbird, which usually requires a very fast shutter speed.

Flash on 1/16 power is pretty quick, and 1/200 is the sync speed. I have others taken in natural light which I'll post when I get home from France: most of those were taken at 1/4000; even so, the wings are often blurred unless I'm lucky enough to catch them at the start or end of a beat.
