Needs a tighter crop on the bird. Good capture though.

Wow, I can't wait to find out what shutter speed you used, Simply amazing. This needs to be a closer crop on the bird though, other than that, supurb!

Wish you zoomed in more to the bird and less background

Hummingbrids are awesome... could have been cropped closer but it's a great pic!

You caught the wings in a great position and controlled the depth of field very well.

Nice shot, but somewhat small on the hummer.

Nice catch. Shame about the ugly feeder and there's a lot of emopty space to the left of the bird.

wonderful show of the bird - I can\'t tell how many times I have tried and failed.

very nice capture. it would be great if you could crop in closer to it, and even better if you could use a shallower DOF to blur out the background more. 7

Cool.... you should have zoomed more or cropped the pic to show the bird larger. That would have been easier to do if that bright leaf wasn't right there by the bird's head.

wow - that is t\ough pic to get - great job. would be nice to see it zoomed in a bit more on the bird but i'm not sure if that is possible

Great shot! This must have been fun to shoot.

This is lovely. It's a little far away though, but the subject rescues it to a large extent. The flash has brought the background too far forward. Wish I had birds like this in my garden! [7]

Good capture of this little guy. Cropping out more of feeder would let hummer be more prominent...if you have enough pixels to permit it.

Wow, nice shutter speed. Good job capturing, mid-flight, good focus.

Wow...one of the best pics I've seen so far in this challenge. Great work with stopping the action of the wings, wonderful color, superb focus!

Well captured. Good stop action. Don't a hummingbird's wings beat at a trillion miles a second? The green leaf on the left is a bit distracting. Cropping it out would make the bird more prominent within the frame.

A little more cropping could have really brought the humming bird into the focus as the subject of the picture.

Great Shot

nice catch.. I don't think the left side of the photo contributes much... he actually looks like he is looking at you! LOL
