Cool hummingbird shot, Van! It is nice to see one that isn't the same as all the others. Really like this a lot.

Really really nice, I didn't think that we would see an hummingbird in "Soft Focus" but you did a great job. Congrats on a beautifull picture.

Hello Van, back for a little bit more comments... ;o)

I hope for you that it will do just as good as it did on Eyefetch.

I think this would have been nicer in colour, though it is still a good photo

I would have liked more contrast for this highkey...

I like this, good movement blur and processing to give an overall soft feel to the image (IMHO)

this shot is too blurry...could be sharper...Just Kidding!!

I like the way the bird almost blends in with the background.

I wouldn't have used soft focus on a picture like this, but it turned out really good. 8

it just lacks a bit of contrast, but otherwise really nice
