Tough shot to take. Great capture and I kind of like the blurry movement. Its what I'd expect from a hummingbird

This is a great capture. Looks a tad over processed - maybe too much sharpening? Some harsh lighting. But overall a good job.

Beautiful picture - I saw a documentary the other day that said hummingbirds can see ultraviolet light and their colourings are even more outstanding to eachother. The colours in this pic are great - I like the motion blur too. Goodluck.

Nice capture of a hummingbird. It would have been cool if you could have had a slightly faster shutter speed to create a little less blur of the flapping wings.

These birds are so cool! It would see you used flash? It looks a bit oversharpened?

Love the colors and the capture, but it looks just a hair oversharp, especially around the feeder.

Nice capture, but too much digital aberration along the edges to be a top photo.
