Hello everyone !

This is my attempt at a hummingbird. Could you please critique it for me and let me know how I might do feathers more properly and any other help you may have please.

I think you did a pretty darn good job on the feathers! Do a Google search on hummingbirds and see what they look like. Then paint what you see, not what you think you know. It's amazing how differently you will look and things from then on-out. (I'm finally getting it myself)

looks good, what do you think thats whats really important
i agree with paws about finding good reference material to work from
love to see some of your work anytime and welcome to the forum

I love your pic. It is a great job. here is another place to try for detailed pics. go to webshots.com. they have some amazing close-ups when you need to see detail, but your pic is good.
