I love the name of this shot, assuming I haven't missed the point.

It seems as if the flowers are shouting at the hummingbird...am I reading too much into this?

Either way, I really like this photograph!

Wow. I'm going to have to see what settings you used to get this. I've been seeing humming birds in the backyard recently.

Only wish the angle was a little different so there was something lighter behind the humming bird for more contrast.

Well done!

Marvelous capture.... too bad the hummingbird blends into the background, still a great picture... 9

I might have called the shot "pollination" to better fit the challenge, but great shot anyway.

Nice capture! I like the angle of the bird swooping in toward the flower. The green stem in the background distracts - removing it and having just the dark background with mottled bits of green would make the bird "pop" better.

Nicely captures the challenge theme. Technically excellent photo and I'm sure it was difficult to capture. Addition of the hummingbird is a nice touch and having it dark against the dark background was a subtle choice. Perhaps too subtle, since it's pretty dark on my monitor.

Nice capture! It all works very well except the right side. There I'd recommend cropping out the brown bud and just a bit more. You may want to crop the same amount from the left side behind the hummer. Exposure is right on. Excellent choice of shutter speed.

the green stem in the background, which goes right through the birds wing is distracting
