Great looking mixed media presentation!. Fine example of bird photography. Your timing appears to be perfect and you have captured the midair antics of the hummingbird very well. Good luck!

This is lovely. Is this a ruby throated hummingbird? Your mixed media has given it a different look.

I think it's very pretty and effective.

Lighting and clarity are good and your composition is good as well.

    Thank you so much for your comments! This is an Orange Rufous hummingbird- as with other hummers the male has the red or colored throat.

    Im dyslexic, I originally said ?This is a? when I meant it as a question ?is this a ruby throated? I have updated my comment. Again it is a very pretty hummer!!!

Wonderful mixed media photograph with good layering technique. The image is flawless with not visible editing and that makes a good presentation.
Great details, pleasing colors and best of luck in the contest!

A nice job although the flowers are a bit too small compared to the size of the hummingbird. They are usually a bit longer than a ruby throat. A very nice composition though with great colors. Best of luck in the contest.

Very special. I guess I'd prefer the red gradient behind the humming bird to be a bit more subtle but it turned out very nice and that is just a matter of preference... Thanks for sharing!

A very good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us a beautiful nature image to enjoy. Like the beak blur and the orange blooms. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!
