Although there is so much that is good about this photo and the difficulty level high, the bird and the background is dull.

As an observer, perhaps I have come to expect more color. If not that, more tone or a contrast in texture. This bird might be a good candidate for black and white. With b & w, the variation of tones is what pops and gets noticed. With a slight conversion, we might get a totally new perspective. Just a thought ...

Wow wow wow. I could only dream of getting a shot like this. Such great focus, great DOF and I totally love the movement you can see in the wings. The green background is beautiful behind the colour of the bird. gosh if i had to be really picky, I would say i only wish there was a little more light in the birds eye (though i can see some) Thats just being so totally picky though. hahah it really is a great shot. well done

What a wonderful job taking this photograph. Love the colors, the sense of motion, but without fuzziness. Wonderful background and the bird is so clear and sharp. I can even see his little claws tucked under his belly.
Wonderful job.
Thanks for sharing.

Good impact with breathtaking clarity the movement has been captured in a crisp way. The background has been blurred so as to promote the subject in a vivid intensity

You have captured a great shot of the humming bird. I have been sitting on my deck for hours and hours and yet haven't come close to such a fantastic shot. Good artist notes. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

I love those hummingbirds. This is a great portrait of one. Love the white tipped tail feathers. Lighting is super. Background is good. Thanks for sharing a lovely image.
