Colors and details are very nice. Lighting and DoF are very nice. Composition and center of interest are very nice. Like the way you can see the details in the wings, very nice shot here. Southernbelle

absolutely stunning! Very nice action and love the green how it circles the bird. Your snap action is perfect and lovely hummingbird. :)

Really nicely detailed picture here of this bird in flight. Great colours and good lighting. Really good DOF used.

Thanks for sharing

Comment from Cephus


Start off with the negative - would like to see the eye a little bit more clearly and would position the bird more to the right.

That said, very nice image, catching the hummingbird in a great pose with the brakes applied. Nice shutter speed to capture the wings with a good amount of motion blur but not too much to destroy the detail and structure. The light coming through the feathers gives the image life. Good overall sharpness, great background - very soft but with variations in brightness and exposure value good to set off the bird.

Great image and good luck in the contest - looks like a very potential winner.

This is a really great capture of a cute little hummingbird! The back lighting is beautiful and the sharpness on the wings is very nice. Good luck in the contest!

Beautiful. I love how you captured the movement in the wings in this photo, yet everything else on the hummingbird is so clear and sharp. THe detail is beautiful, and the highlights/shadowing add more character and beauty to this photo. The neutral background is great, and I think it helps to really making the bird stand out more. Thanks for sharing this great shot.

This is a beautiful shot of your subject, I love how you focused your subject, and blurred the background.

This is very pretty. Nice lighting, I like the way it is coming through his wings. Good focus on head and body-usually I would prefer the wings to be sharper but this kind of works with the blur.

Very nice. Has an excellent initial impact. Clarity is 5 star as well as your composition and depth of field. The lighting works well. Thanks for sharing.
