| That's impressive. Looks like a stuffed or fake bird that you took a photo of. Seems almost too crisp to be live action. Nice capture. |

| Way to go Ann. I'm very impressed. This is the sharpest humming Bird shot I've seen. The flash does the trick alright. Looks fantastic in front of the nice soft background. This deserves the very high score it got. Congratulations. |

| Nice stop! I wanted to shot a hummer but the only one who winters over (Annas) would not cooperate with me when the light was decent. Anyway, great shot. Only complaint I would have is that it is a bit dark against the dark background. But that is being picky. |

| Great sharpness, uncomplicated background and unless this bird was in an avary or hovering around all day you might only have had a very short period to get this right, unlike the people that can setup a dripping tap and shoot splashes for hours. Great colours, well exposed, a bit more open space on the left to put the bird a third in from the right, plus, the bird appears be moving from right into space on the left and so this might have improved composition two-fold. The best entry I've seen so far |

| This is an excellent profile of the the hummingbird and the sharpness and richness of the colors are out standing. When you think of how fast the wings are moving, the capture is even more impressive. There is excellent separation between the subject and the background which makes the bird almost pop out of the image. Well done. |

| If I find the time to vote on enough to make it count for you... you have a 10 from me. Not just because stopping the motion of a hummingbirds wings captures the challenge perfectly. But the shot is also a very good one with very nice tones and colors. The shallow dof really makes this birds beauty stand out and it's cropped very nice too. If it isn't the blue ribbon then it should be. |
