A ruby-throated hummingbird on his way to the feeder in my front yard. These little guys are incredibly fast, and it's hard to get a clean shot. It certainly helps that a pair of hummingbirds have been guarding that feeder since April, so I can just wait out in the open with a camera a few paces away and they'll fly over within 10 minutes.

ROFLMAO, Art! That 1 vote came from a troll [now banned] that we knew about during voting. The troll's votes in Colorful Objects were flushed, but 22 votes of 1 in Kitchen Tools and 16 gifts of contempt in this challenge were inexplicably allowed to stand, and that really disgusts me. While those votes might not affect the final order (much), they do leave a stain. KarenK was robbed of her fourth 7, which would have shown two places higher on her profile– her best finish in 5 years. :-(
The 1 is well deserved. This lacks the quiet sophistication of a blurry black & white image of a glass of milk sitting on an old dining table next to an unrecognizable, but classic hardcover novel. Yes, it certainly has the WOW factor, but WOW is so cliché and overdone. Maybe if you cropped it halfway through the extended wing and flipped it vertically, then it could be considered avant-garde and worthy of something closer to a 4. The colors are vivid and the focus sharp, otherwise I would have given you a two. You played to the aesthetically ignorant masses and you may have won, but you have made the masses even more ignorant in the process, so Bravo and congratulations. :P
