Congratulations! Tammy this is stunning, so beautiful and delicate. Your background matches much of the Hummingbird pleasing to the eye. Amazing photography

Congratulations on winning the red ribbon. A hummingbird in flight, captured with impressive clarity on the body. The framing is dynamic, with the hummingbird facing right, giving a sense of freedom and momentum. The soft, circular bokeh creates a serene, almost ethereal ambiance, enhancing the beauty of the suspended moment.
Congratulations again
