I spent many hours just taking this photo. My camera overheated for the first time ever! I took the photo I was after.
If you download then magnify you will be able to see a drop of nectar on her beak and her tongue sticking out.

Outstanding; the hummer is in such perfect focus that the image appears 3-D. Congratulations.

Thank you. I got three or four this good today. Tonight I'm going to enter two humming bird photo prints into a camera club competition. They are not as good as this one and it's too late to have this one printed and enter this one. There is always next year.
BTW, I have been planning how to take this for years. It worked out just like I hoped it would. I wanted to keep the detail and have depth of field to encompass the bird. I also wanted to push the background into soft bokeh. It was all planned.

Exceptional work Dave. Eye candy for sure and a winner IMO.
