		| If only things were a tad more in focus and the glare wasn't so bright on the yellow pencil. Otherwise, a lovely photo. Good job! |

		| wow, I don't think I've ever seen a humming bird up close like that.  Kind of looks like an earless bat.  Great use of pencils.  The angle, lighting and focus are great.  There's a bit of a glare on the yellow pencil, but I've found that you can't get too picky when dealing with animal photos.  especially fast moving animals.  Great shot.  Good luck with the challenge. |

		| Very cleverly done... A great effort on a hard to get shot.  Focus is slightly off, but apart from that small gripe it's a good picture. |

		Feels like the pencils have been stuck there purely to allow a photo of bird to be entered. Fair enough, just seem really out of place in it. I know those little fellas move way too fast but it's just too blurry for me. I do like the way the green background forms it's own wonderful shape between the shadows. Kavey |

		| Great photo. I would expect the bird's wings to be blurry, but the sharpness on the pencils and feeders is a little lacking. |

		| I you get a good score on this one so think the bird for it    the pencils are not doing out anything there.I can´t give you wery high score because I think you are using the bird to much for this shot. On the other hand it is a wery good picture of the bird end nice to see his wings. Good luck thou -rocco22- |

		| This was a clever way to get a really nice shot and still meet the challenge.  Unfortunately, there's that wing blocking the bird's face.  There's a graininess that maybe shooting at a higher resolution and then resizing could fix.  Why the yellow pencil?  The bird's perch seems sufficient to meet the challenge.  4 |
