This is a nice stop action photograph of a hummingbird. The blurring of the right wing gives the viewer a sense of movement even though there is stop action. You did a nice job cropping because the composition looks very good. What really helps this photograph is the effect of the back lighting. The scene is wonderful to look at. Good luck with the contest.

I love taking picures of these little birds. Good stop action on this Ruby and a nice display of the spread of his lower feathers.

Great shot. Capturing a bird in flight is always very difficult. Yet you have captured something very special indeed.

Very detailed and dynamic. One slight suggestion maybe is that the picture is too central, but I guess thats just a personal taste.

What a great shot! Wonderful impact. I love the bokeh. The lighting on the subject is perfect, really make the color harmony. Good presentation and framing. The photo speaks for it's self about technical Excellence, at least to anyone who's tried to photograph birds.

Lovely image and well captured and not easy to do.

Sharp where it needs to be whilst capturing the movement that adds such dynamism to this image.

Very well done and good luck in the competition.
