Thank you for the kind words, Dan!
In this case I just wanted to illustrate the point about wing position. :-)

Beautiful, Jostein. I love that image!
Strong detail, and a crisp mage. I really love the color in the
background,which harmonizes with the plumage.
The blossoms frame the bird well, and the curve of the lower branch adds a
lot of interest and draws the eye into the bird itself.

I've shot exactly one session with those birds, a ruby-throated
hummingbird I encountered along the Big Sur in 2013. I remember thinking
that the wings would have to stop before they turned, and rattled off a lot
of frames hoping to hit the point where the wings switched direction. That
was without flash, at 1/1000s shutter speed. I had to crank up the ISO to
1600 too. Hit to miss ratio was about 1:30, I guess.
Here's what that looked like:

My wife made the decision (of course) to hang a couple Hummingbird
feeders.
I've been dinkin' around attempting to freeze them with an AF540-FGZ on
the K-3.
I've chosen to use "M" flash setting at 1/64 duration. Not doing it!!
Said setting does, however, fully light a scene 'prox 25' across the
family room..??
1/1=1/1200.
Tried PTTL at minus a couple stops duration. Background too dark and
image soft. I read it
can do 1/20000 in the right light. Probably shooting into a mirror
close-up.;)
Any one?
