		I love the name of this shot, assuming I haven't missed the point.
 
 It seems as if the flowers are shouting at the hummingbird...am I reading too much into this?
 
 Either way, I really like this photograph! |

		Wow.  I'm going to have to see what settings you used to get this.  I've been seeing humming birds in the backyard recently.
 
 Only wish the angle was a little different so there was something lighter behind the humming bird for more contrast.
 
 Well done! |

		| I might have called the shot "pollination" to better fit the challenge, but great shot anyway. |

		| Nice capture!  I like the angle of the bird swooping in toward the flower.  The green stem in the background distracts - removing it and having just the dark background with mottled bits of green would make the bird "pop" better. |

		| Nicely captures the challenge theme. Technically excellent photo and I'm sure it was difficult to capture. Addition of the hummingbird is a nice touch and having it dark against the dark background was a subtle choice. Perhaps too subtle, since it's pretty dark on my monitor. |

		| Nice capture!  It all works very well except the right side.  There I'd recommend cropping out the brown bud and just a bit more.  You may want to crop the same amount from the left side behind the hummer. Exposure is right on.  Excellent choice of shutter speed. |

		| the green stem in the background, which goes right through the birds wing is distracting |
