Thanks everyone for your nice responses. Cracker65, I didn't use anything special only the humming bird feeder. Instead of going right to the feeder he decided to land on a near by tree branch close to my porch. Lucky for me:D

Nice exposures and good composition, I think that keeping the leaf in the shot was wise.
