 Thanks for the comments and votes. The color in the background are some colorful bag clips on a trellis. I was hoping to catch a hummingbird landing on one of them for the colorful challenge. But this is all I got, I was try for the speed challenge also so was a reject for colorful but not speed. :)

Voter One: "I hate hummingbirds! All Hummingbird shots shall get a 1!"
Voter Three: "Well that's just mean and vindictive. I hate hummingbirds also but they at least deserve a 3."

LOL. Congrats, Karen! I wish this counted for DPL, but glad to see you getting some good recognition. :)

I'm not loving the background... maybe an outtake from Colorful Objects?

The bird is very well captured. I can see so much detail in the feathers. 7 from me.
