I agree that a little more space on the sides would add to the image. The right side feels a little crowded. I would try rotating the hummingbird counterclockwise a bit to draw the eye into the frame a little more.
None of this is to detract from your very fine original. I often make changes like this and wind up keeping both because I like different aspects of the framing. Maybe Iām just indecisive.

about indecisive... YES - that is where I am all the time. I tend to play with an image for an hour or an evening and then it is what it is and I move on to the next one. PS editing is tough!! You make a million small changes and the image becomes something that it wasn't before - sometimes good, sometimes not so good, and it is horribly difficult to isolate the particular choices that help and those that might have hurt.
One thing, if I did this image over again, I definitely would bring the hummer in closer to the center so that their interaction is greater - I pinched him up too tightly to the edge I think.

Nicely done Piet. AI backgrounds are wonderful. I have some from 1500s England, 1920s New York among others. I still like to make my own when I can.

thanks - I think one of AIs great strengths is the establishment of a particular mood. They can have wonderful atmosphere.

A composite of a hummer I captured a couple of weeks ago with a purple finch shot the same evening and an AI created background.

I like the square aspect ratio and the way you lit the center of the image to keep our attention right where the story is. Super job.

thanks Erich, great observation - I only wish I did that consciously rather than subconsciously. The hardest thing about composites (in my opinion), is making the different parts feel like they belong together. And in this case, the center lighting and the square aspect ratio are like glue to help hold things together.
