Yee Haw!

Worth a 9 from me, Harvey. Fantastic capture. It may have done better if the impala had hummingbird wings though.

!! YIPPEE !!

Comment:
Great shot and an excellent finish. My only nitpick is that I'm fairly certain dolphins don't say "YIPPEE" when they breach. I could be wrong, though. I'm not fluent in dolphin. :P

I thought this was/is fantastic! Shadowy lighting and busy background kept me to a 7, but it's really a 7+. :)

Congrats on a great finish, Wendy! And also for avoiding the ire of the anti-hummingbird posse.

Voter One: "I hate hummingbirds! All Hummingbird shots shall get a 1!"
Voter Three: "Well that's just mean and vindictive. I hate hummingbirds also but they at least deserve a 3."

LOL. Congrats, Karen! I wish this counted for DPL, but glad to see you getting some good recognition. :)

The 1 is well deserved. This lacks the quiet sophistication of a blurry black & white image of a glass of milk sitting on an old dining table next to an unrecognizable, but classic hardcover novel. Yes, it certainly has the WOW factor, but WOW is so cliché and overdone. Maybe if you cropped it halfway through the extended wing and flipped it vertically, then it could be considered avant-garde and worthy of something closer to a 4. The colors are vivid and the focus sharp, otherwise I would have given you a two. You played to the aesthetically ignorant masses and you may have won, but you have made the masses even more ignorant in the process, so Bravo and congratulations. :P
