This is a beautiful shot of the hummingbird in flight. Good camera techniques and good stop action. Your focus sharp and good lighting revealing wonderful details with superb eye clarity. Your framing is good and photo well composted. Your background is perfect and compliments your overall photo. This is nice work and thanks for sharing!

Great job capturing this little guy in motion. I'm not sure I have ever seen a photo of a hummingbird quite like this where you can see the wings stopped in motion. Great job cropping the photo and enhancing the color and the focus on the hummingbird and front flowers is impeccable.

Very nice clear capture of this guy's face and I like the blur of the wings. The bright feathers on his head almost look like bits of the flower. The depth is also very nice.

i guess the hummingbird buried its head so deep it got purple pollen on its face. lolol/ the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of the hummingbird and flowers is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall

Everything you did really brought this up to wow. I can't believe the detail you show in this little character. I like the blurred background, with the sharp flower and body.

Well, yes he certainly does have a good glint in his eye. Must have been the immediate prospect of getting some good food! Like your central composition giving us a fine look at the bird. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

She ought to be a female with those pink accessories aesthetically adorned on his head!
Sharply focused on the thumbnail.
Muted colors are visually soothing.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Thanks for sharing...

Wow! Just, wow! To capture a hummingbird in mid-flight like this and have it turn out well is a magnificent feat! It is still a tad blurry, but I'm not even gonna take away points for it because of how cool this photo is. Great centering of the hummingbird and nice, vibrant colors!

    My settings were at f/5.6. That kept his head in perfect focus, but blurred the background. In other words, it was intentional! Thanks very much! I appreciate it!

'Very Cool',T.Kay!

The attractive coloration and the splendid lighting really make this fine looking image Stand Out!
It's a very 'Good Show',my friend!
