Nice color and composition, but I can't see that the grain adds anything.

Comment by jasonlprice:
Great capture. I wished there was more room for the bird to peer into...like if the hummingbird was set off to the left of the photo. Also, I think a little more depth (or at least not front focused quite so much) would have put the entire hummingbird in focus, which I think would have worked better for me. I realize the challege was shallow DOF and that the hummer's eye and head are fine so it does work...7

nice picture, others fit the challenge title better though (ever done a bird pic without low dof?) :-)
