the contrast seems a bit dull...this might be better converted to true black and white with more distinct contrasts.

Wow...one of the best pics I've seen so far in this challenge. Great work with stopping the action of the wings, wonderful color, superb focus!

Well captured. Good stop action. Don't a hummingbird's wings beat at a trillion miles a second? The green leaf on the left is a bit distracting. Cropping it out would make the bird more prominent within the frame.

I like this - could use more contrast though.

A little more cropping could have really brought the humming bird into the focus as the subject of the picture.

I love the intravenous bag. I have often wished I could set one of those up by my desk at work and fill it with some delicious ice coffee. Of course I could take that one step further and have a cathader put in that way I wouldn’t have to get up so often.

Anyhow nice shot and good idea, really fits the challenge. I think your shot shows the beginning and my shot shows the end result.

I like this because it's a simple and neutral kind of shot. Maybe should have removed some of the magenta color from it.

nice catch.. I don't think the left side of the photo contributes much... he actually looks like he is looking at you! LOL
