Excellent capture of this beautiful hummer with outstanding detail and color.
The photograph is clear and well detailed and the soft colors in the background really make the hummer stand out.
These are hard to capture with such clarity and focus and you have done a remarkable job.
Pleasure to see.

Wonderful initial impression: this is a beautiful image, the Hummer On the stem shows awesome detail, and good eye contact, complete with a nice catch light, nice position in the frame, nice pose of the Hummer. This is well focused, clear to view, well controlled exposure, the colors and tones appear natural. I like this composition the orange flower and bits of pink give us the sense of its in the garden location. Very well presented! Best to you in the contest!

I love hummers. This photo of a female hummingbird is in perfect focus, well centered and has excellent lighting. The photo is very complete with a good background. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! A gorgeous shot of the hummingbird in the garden resting. Superb eye clarity! I love that iridescent green color that you captured and your excellent details on the feathers and markings of this exquisite bird. I like the way his head is turned slightly and your diffused background compliments your work beautifully. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

Barbra,
A beautiful picture of the female Hummingbird perched on the flower stem or vine with another flower in the blurred background the sunlight dancing off her iridescent plumage & the sparkle in her eye. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Oh what fun. Catching a hummingbird at rest. A rare photograph. I also like the composition of the bird the focal point with the flower kind of faded and the background all a blur. Nicely cropped also. Reasons for my five star vote.

In my yard these little guys are constantly on the move and the only time I see them perched is at the feeder. A nice shot with good detail in the plumage and a fine profile. Best wishes in the contest.

I hate to give away my 6's when I first get them. But, I can not help myself on this one. It is a 10 plus image. When I first saw it, I said to myself, "WOW". Look at the amazing colors and how sharp that is. It is truly a stunning image.
