got lucky with this one
I managed to time this as best I could. Only using my Samsung Note 8, no filters, no adjustments aside from a slight zoom. We have a couple hummingbird feeders on our front deck. My wife loves feeding them and watching them flittering around.
I hope you like it.

I would defer to others in this group with much more knowledge and experience than I have.
The convenience of having a smart phone and the various manufacturers competition to have better cameras for every new model I think makes it much easier for amateurs like myself to take good photos.
I would also say that the almost unlimited space to take multiple pictures in various settings help.
After I took this photo, I started to think back to why I didn't use burst mode or possibly even slow motion video and have the option to pick a possibly better photo from a larger group and concluded that it was simply an "in the moment" shot.
Thanks for the compliment, I'm glad you and others enjoyed it. 
Hummingbirds are very hard to photograph, as I've been told by friends who know such things. You got the sun and the bird at the perfect time.
I was going to put up a pic about a starling I saw today - saw this - it can wait for another day 
Not a tin hat on this genius!
