Great close up! I wish the bird had released the perch, but I know those wings are stopped motion! Excellent!

Very tought to stop the wings on these birds, you did a good job. Think I would have done a little dodging (or burning I can never keep them straight) do darken the feeder and perch slightly.

Ohmy! Because I've been trying unsuccessfully forEVER to capture the little hummingbirds that dart around my yard, I am especially in awe of those that are able to capture shots like this! This could not be better! It's the cover of a bird magazine! 10

That's a tough one to stop motion on. You almost succeded, just a little blur in the wings. Actually, looking closer I think what looks like blur is actually from DOF. Bummer. Many people are going to see it as motion blur I'm afraid. :( Nonetheless. Congrats on a nice capture. Good luck in the challenge.

Awesome photo and I hate to have to do this, it has the tiniest bit of motion blur in the wings - I know the go 50 beats per second but the challenge says no motion trails. 7
