Such a captivating title goes well with the image. The darkness overtaking the light, led by the bird in flight. What great storytelling imagery and such awesome symbolism! To me the technicals are good, but the storyline gets all the marks on this work of art!!

This is a good photo. You captured the hummingbird in very good focus and with the shutter speed you really froze her. I think you may have gone a little overboard with the sharpening; there's a thick black line around your feeder and the hummingbird and it reduces the realism of the photo a bit. I'm sure some would be bothered by the inclusion of the feeder, but in another frame of mind, it gives the image a place of connection. There's a purpose and a motive in the photo which is always nice. I think the photo needs a boost in saturation, the colors are leaning towards the gray side.

Excellent focus. It's a shame that most of the hummingbird shots include those tacky plastic feeders, but without them, you'd never get the shot. :)

Now isn't he cute. How many peanuts did you have to feed this little guy to get a pose like that? Haha! Very nice!

Have to tell a story. My cat cornered one of these guys a couple years ago. The chipmunk stood up on it's hind legs and started boxing. The cats head went back in bewilderment as the guy proceeded to punch. The little guy even had some footwork. When the cat was completely confused the chipmunk ran off leaving him sitting there with this astounded expression. You could almost hear what the cat was thinking,'What the heck was that all about.'
Ever since that day my cat gives chipmunks the right of way.
