My Personal Triumph!! A hummingbird shot with my macro lens!

While I normally don't even glance at the caption of the image (I tend to think that if you have to tell me how the image fits the challenge, you haven't done a very good job), I really was impressed with this shot and I'm more than happy to use the caption to tie to the challenge so I can give you a great score.

As someone that shoots a lot with a macro lens too, I'm extremely impressed with this shot.

I'm really getting the challenge from your shot. That said...it's an outstanding image. Nice work.

Very nice shot. Your control of DOF and careful composition really makes this shot stand out. Great work.

What a great shot. I'm guessing you shot this at some difference so DOF would have been hard to control. That said, with all of the detail and colors in the background if you could have found a way to decrease the DOF a little it would have made your subject stand out much more.

Still this is a great example of Triumph. Well done.

This is going to seem like nit picking (sorry) but you've (or your model has) done a great job with her face makeup. However, she has freckles on her hand and that was one of the first things I noticed. There really is nothing wrong with adding a light base coat to a models hands (or shoulders, legs, whatever) to soften blemishes and freckles. There certainly isn't anything wrong with freckles but if you a such a clean face, the freckles on her hands really stand out.

Self portraits are so hard. You did a nice job. I'd like to see your shot a little brighter though.

Really nice shot but I'm not seeing that using black and white is really adding to the image. I suspect that you probably had some really nice colors to work with.

This is a nice shot. Unfortunately her hair is in focus but her face is not. I'm not if this was your intent but, to my eye, it's distracting. I find myself really wanting her face to be in focus.
