wow, I don't think I've ever seen a humming bird up close like that. Kind of looks like an earless bat. Great use of pencils. The angle, lighting and focus are great. There's a bit of a glare on the yellow pencil, but I've found that you can't get too picky when dealing with animal photos. especially fast moving animals. Great shot. Good luck with the challenge.

Very cleverly done... A great effort on a hard to get shot. Focus is slightly off, but apart from that small gripe it's a good picture.

you really must do a bird tutorial. Our hummingbird pictures NEVER turn out this nicely!!

Feels like the pencils have been stuck there purely to allow a photo of bird to be entered. Fair enough, just seem really out of place in it. I know those little fellas move way too fast but it's just too blurry for me. I do like the way the green background forms it's own wonderful shape between the shadows.
