Comment from Shingho


Nice image of the humming bird. A very intelligent use of the backlight; however, I would prefer a little more fill light on the eyes of the humming bird to give it a better catch light. The overall sharpness, color and composition is very good. Well done!

Comment from EvaB


The backlighting is amazing. Did you try lightening his head a touch to show his eye more? May not work well with the backlight, but maybe worth a try. Focus is great on such a fast subject!

What a pretty shot. Love the colors and the white-tipped wings. Very nicely composed and focused. Great capture.
