7 - Good shot. Criticism; whilst no 'expert' in the rule(s), I would like to have seen this using a stricter sense of the rules, especially for the Challenge. A tighter crop, or closer zoom, incorporating more (if possible) of the right of that rusted 'perch', more detail in the feathers, would have made this a better shot in my opinion. Like the colors and the background, just more definition on the bird, as you have in the 'perch'.

perhaps a closer crop to bring the bird's eye to the thirds focal point. nice clear shot of the bird

Great frame. The rust colored perch is a great contrast to the green background here.

nice bokeh........spot on focus on the bird. Best in this challenge so far.

Fits the theme, but technically the photo needs work. The background is grainy (maybe over sharpened?) and the white on the bird looks overexposed.

Comment by Germaine:
I really like this picture and the fact that you have multi-tones of green in the background, not flat black or white. I love the contrast of the rusty metal with the bird's coloring. Minor quibble, to slavishly follow the Rule of Thirds, I think you should have shifted the bird and his perch over, up, and to the left. I think it would balance the picture better, but now that I look at the picture again, maybe not.

nice capture! Having watched my brother try to catch a hummer like this for hours and having no success, you've got some real good luck or a real fast trigger finger. Beautiful!
