I didn't get to see this in voting. Wow! I love the silhouette against the light background, especially the transcucent feathers. Well done!

Wow, nice sillhouette. The bokeh is so big, you almost can't see it. I'm not keen on the browny colours here though.

This is an awesome capture! I've been trying to get a decent hummingbird shot for two weeks and I have three frequenting my feeder and hibiscus. I would like to see this with the feeder cropped out. 7

I took a shot very close to this one. I almost submitted it too. But my background was not bokeh like yours. This is a very cool photo.

That's truly beautiful. I usually hate seeing the feeder in the shot, but in silhouette it gives it a sense of line. Nicely done.
