Frozen wing motion? Fast shutter speed or fast flash?
Lovely image.

Wonderful. I just love how the yellow of the flower is reflected off his face and chest.

This is so beautiful. It looks like one of those botanical illustrations. Marvelous processing and I'm wondering how you achieved the pure white bg, although I imagine you might have used some sort of large sheet or posterboard. Perfectly processed. Many kudos for capturing SEVEN of them in focus. Front page.

Ribbon! I love it!

(But, with advance editing, I'd have removed the odd darkness in the background ... by the bird far right) (not voting anyway, so it doesn't matter what I think. *grin* )

To me this looks like you combined several hummingbirds into one picture. It seems too coincidental that 7 hummingbirds would come to a feeder at once (especially since they are territorial and tend to chase others away from their food sources). However, I will rate this as if it were completely legit, and let the SC validate or disqualify it. 7
