You may disagree with me, and that's okay, but this doesn't meet the spirit of the challenge in my opinion.

would have liked a bit more saturation in the orange and yellow channels to bring out more vibrance to the photo

some say this wouldn't be a portrait. I don't see why not. It's nice too. That's so amazing.

It's not a person...it's not even in portrait orientation. Dang, I'd have to give this a 1 if it weren't so damn good. I'm just kidding about the stuff above. Good capture. I am going to knock it a bit, but you still get a 7.

Beautiful photot and I wish I had taken it - I would also have entered it - I will give higher scores for those who managed to get recalcitrant people to pose for them though

This is the best portrait of a hummingbird I have ever seen. Can't wait to find out what camera you are using. Focus is right where it should be on his head, blurring of wings is great and all colors are too. If he had been up a bit higher so his beak was straight on with the flower, I would have scored it 11 , LOL, instead I have to give you a 10.
