A very nice shot. I like the detail in the facial plumage and think the fanned out tail is superb. Nice colors and a good background. Best of luck in the contest.

What a beautiful hummer! Some people want to see the wings frozen in these type of photos but I think the way you have shown this beauty is perfect. She is so still but her wings are what helps her to be that way.

Your treatment of the background to show her off is perfect!

Good luck in the contest.

This is very pretty. I love hummingbirds. We only ever get the ruby throated hummingbird here.

I love seeing the different kinds people post from all over the world.

Your photo is very sharp. The hummer is pinkish. What kind of hummer is this, may I ask? Im thinking you must have blurred the wings a bit to soften them.

The background change is nice as well.

Good Luck in the contest.

    Thank you so much for your encouraging comments, I appreciated it very much! I believe that this is a female Orange Rufous hummingbird which are prevalent in the western part of the U.S. I didn?t blur the wings, this is the capture as it was at snap!

    Wow that is gorgeous. Did you use a special technique to get that blur. So pretty

Fine mixed media photography. The lady hummingbird is gorgeous being pinkish/purple and the stunning colors on the lower body, wings. Your background is beautiful too, with the blues and greens.

What I like the best about this photo is the simplicity and the lovely gradient from blue to green in the background. The colors of the bird are so delicate, and the light is falling on it in such a lovely way.

The hummingbird is standing out from the background in an excellent way, the photo is sharp, and it is indeed clear and well defined details to be seen. The exposure is perfect.

I also like the format you have cropped the photo into and the placement of the bird within the frame. This is a truly lovely and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Absolutely beautiful! Love how you caught this hummer on the wing! Love the soft blur of the wing along with the focus and lighting on the rest of humming bird. The background colors are perfect to show off the hummer. Love the whole presentation. :o) Helvi
