Nice shot of this hummingbird. Good detail showing him at this angle and in flight with hardly any blur. I love how they tuck those little feet in while flying. Excellent contrasting background.

Amazing shot Willie. Was it taken at night time or dusk? Beautifully sharp where it matters and yet there is a sense of movement too. Such a nice profile and very well positioned within the frame.

    Thank you so very much for a good review and high score! This was taken in the late afternoon. I used the flash to highlight the bird. The dark background was trees. I adjusted the contrast and when I did the dark background turned black!

This is a beautiful picture. I know how fast they move so this is a great capture. I never realized their beak was so long. The focus is good. I really like the black background. Great technique and great patience.

Couldn't give you any less Willie! Outstanding capture with excellent body focus along with the eye highlight making this little one shine!! The blurred wings add movement and a perfect completion to this stunning shot! The framing is awesome! Love the dark b.g. just makes her so much more visible in all her perfection!!Amazing!!

this is a difficult capture and you've pulled it off well. The flash really enhances the details and colours. The crop is prefect for the composition. I also really like the dark background, it really makes the bird stand out. Steve

Comment from Mitcham


This is a great capture.The use of flash can ruin a shot like this but you have managed to control it. Good detail in the bird while the movement in the wings add realism. Mitch
