Hummingbirds, a different perspective (for me)

The stand of bee balm is finally in bloom, so I decided to try to shoot hummingbirds from above with my 80-200 F 2.8. Shutter speed was at 2500 and ISO at 320. This female decided to feed in the shade, instead of the flowers that were in full sun. Spun the shutter speed down to 640 and was a bit surprised with the results.
