A very fine shot. The detail in the plumage is extraordinary and the way he has his tail bent forward is eye catching. A great shot that should do well in this contest. Good luck.

You were really lucky to get a photo of this sweet hummingbird posing for you like this, and it is truly great to see the tail feathers of this bird in this way. You have captured the shiny eye so well, and I also think the light is falling on the bird in such a lovely way.

The bird is standing out sharp and well defined against the softened green background, and it is clear details to be seen in its feathers. The exposure is spot on.

The format and framing is perfect, and the tree stump with the bird has got a fine placement within the frame. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo Lee Ann, and with an excellent DOF,

Sorry that I have used all my 6 stars ratings, because a photo like this deserves a higher rating.

This stretch is intriguing. It looks like yoga for birds. The colors of the feathers are beautiful. Your photo is well excellent focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. I appreciate the realism of color and light and the sharpness of detail. The soft background emphasizes the bird remarkably. The mixed media is perfect composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Love it! What an interesting position to capture the hummingbird in. The composition is good, the clarity is good, and the blurred background really lets the viewer focus on the main subject. Good luck!

What a super "lucky" capture but you are well versed in a splendid set up. The picture is so unusual and the colours so vibrant yet natural. Good focus, use of light, and presentation.

Oh my goodness LeeAnn! What perfect timing to capture this stretching pose of the tiny hummingbird!
Spot on focus, this image is clear, exposure is correct, colors and tones are natural. Well defined detail over every part of the hummer, beautiful clear eye! This is definitely worthy of a six , sadly I am out ! It's beautifully composed and presented! An excellent entry for the contest! Very best wishes to you !
