This is a beautiful shot of the bird. You have framed it well. Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Good effort!

excellent capture of the bird red colors and the way it makes a center of interest, but the all piece is too blur and the focus is too soft

I think that if you take the brightness and gamma down this could be better

thanks for sharing

Not sure I'm understanding this. But the all piece is too blur and the focus is too soft. Please articulate for me.

Hummingbirds are my favorite birds. We have a lot of then here in New Mexico. May you find your weekend be wonderfully blessed with sunshine and much happiness. Patricia

How neat and great to see so many hummers. A clean background, good frame, focus and exposure to show the very colorful details on this pretty guy. Good job.

A beautiful shot. The surrounding greenery is outstanding in its softness and yet the bird is shown in sharp detail with great colors. I like the cropping and the way the bird stands out in this great setting. Best of luck in the contest.

What a pretty and interesting looking bird. Great color harmony, I love the pink head of the bird and the light subtle green surrounding it. Excellent exposure. Great color and clarity as well as good visual impact. Very well done. ~Alveria

Beautiful color on initial impact, great entry for a color contest. The hummingbird stands out fantastically against the muted background. The focus is ultra solid on the bird and your exposure holds wonderful color and fantastic light. Thanks for sharing and good luck.
