This is a lovely shot, wonder why it was not in the top 10.

nicely caught but needs more space around it, esp at the bottom

Wow! More speed and better colors and this would be amazing. But it's great already. Good bokeh!

Very clear, wow! Seems cropped a bit too tight near the beak though.

Beautiful capture. I wish there was a little more space around the bird, especially at bottom and left (in front and below). It looks a little cramped in this frame. The image showcases the bird details much more so than the bokeh aspect of the image. ~6

Thats either a dead hummingbird or a ridiculously fast shutter/flash!

Beautiful capture. For this challenge I'd like to see something more in the background, colors or patterns or light changes that hint at the setting or enhance my view of the bird.
