 Reminds me of something you'd use for a wallpaper border, but maybe stylized more. Actually, a bit taller crop works better for that because I have a nice, green border on top and bottom, but then the width is too teensy to see much.

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, Nik CEP tonal contrast and sunlight, Nik Viveza to even out contrast on Hummer, levels, light green vignette, resized, Nik Sharpen.

I thought the same about a border of some kind. Beautifully composed and perfect for this challenge.

Quite pretty and delicate, with a gentle staff of slender branches and melodic counterpoint of leaves and flowers. And the modest crescendo of a hummingbird. Very well done.

This reminds me of some 18th century wallpaper: delicate flowers and exotic birds. Lovely :-)

Nice shot and the curving line of the branch works well. I think I see some sensor spots and the background seems muddy or something. Still a nice capture of a hummer.

This has a sort of oriental feel to it, it seems to me, which I appreciate. A very pleasing composition and nice detail.

Very nice use of the long photo shape, well-place subject, and pretty colors.

Good find, good composition and color although a bit overexposed to my eye.

Has an oriental flare that works well for the subject. I like the way the branch leads you through the image and the clean background.
