Such a great image of these two humming birds. I'm always amazed at how fast they zip around...amazing little creatures. You did an outstanding job at capturing them. I do like the black background, which takes away any distraction, and adds a great contrast, as well as a dramatic look. Well done!

Wow! A good action shot of not one but two humming birds in flight.
You did well to capture them both. The title is well suited for this image.
A good entry for the contest, a nice natural shot. Good luck in the contest.

I love the title!
It fits the photo perfectly.
The colors are nice and vibrant and the Details are nice. I do think the clarity and focus is a bit off, but not by very much. I like the idea you had here and sometimes capturing hummingbirds isn't very easy. So nice job!

Getting one hummingbird in focus can be a challenge but two...

Great shot. How did you get the darkened background?

Great detail, color, exposure, composition and center of interest.

    Thank you so very much! I had trees in the background and it was in the late afternoon! I was using a flash and most went black. i then used the burn tool to finish.

This would be a 6 star rating for me if I would have them right now - amazing shot - mega macro making the shiny body and beautiful faces visible in total clarity and detail - the plus is you got two of them together a one in a lifetime shot - outstanding - thanks for sharing

The idea and image of this picture is great and works well for the contest. The reason for the half point deduction is that the image is hazy and lacks clarity the reason its not more than a half point is it may be the FAR upload.

great skill & technique comes across here as you,ve done an admirable job with the capture & presentation of thes two cuties-they are so colourful aren,t they but the main thing is that the green comes out well so should have good chance in comp, good luck!

Very good stop action photography with just enough motion blur to bring the birds to life. Good timing also. The focus looks nice and sharp and the birds are well lit. Well done in getting a nice specula highlight in the eye also. Good luck in the comp :)
