WOW! Fantastic as usual. Make me feel good and put out a bad one once in a while will you? Sorry 5's are all I have left for it deserves more. Wonderful work. Catching the Action of these little critters is pretty hard so I am told. You certainly pulled it off. Love the Sharpness, background and of course the Subject matter.
Thanks for sharing this. Enjoyed reviewing it.. Royal

    Thank you so very much! I have a lot more bad ones than good! I shoot everyday all year long so I get a good one from time to time! I delete a lot of shots!

Wow that was perfect, I like the motion in the wings.Great shot!! would have liked to see more of a background, however the black makes the color in the feather pop out more.

I love this photo. It's so good.
It's great to see the brightly colored patterns on his back, and the blur of the moving wings, and their shape and his long beak, which you nicely captured in this profile.
wonderful color, clarity and light
good black backround and placement in the picture
You're the best.

This is a very good shot of a humming bird. I am actually surprised it did not get higher in the contest. The bird is standing out so nicely against the black back drop. Your focus is very sharp showing lovely details in the bird, and your use of light is very good. The shiny parts of the bird look like pure gold. I actually like the way you have positioned the bird within the frame and the neat cropping. This is a nicely composed image with good balance.

    Thank you so very much! I too thought it would do better. It is like any contest. You never know what the judges are looking for!

Wow, this is so great, I love it. Perfect exposure to get most of the bird clear and motion blur on the wings adds the impact. I love the lighting management, colors and details are gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing this beauty.

Nice picture. And yes, they are so hard to capture. I like how you were able to get detail, which is hard with these birds. Thanks for sharing your photo.

A beautiful capture of this great looking bird. I like the fact that you have stopped the action of his wings almost to a stand still. GREAT LIGHTING, ALL IN ALL, A SUPER PHOTO!

Well they say patience and perseverance pay off in the end and it has here! Great scene well captured! Like your corner composition and background. The shot is very sharp and well exposed providing us with a good look at those nice colours and great wing display. Very good shot, well done! Best of luck in your contest!!
