Wow, that's great that you have birds raising young where you live...nothing but snow up this way till spring. This is such a beautiful shot...nice mid-air capture and I love the baby's open beak. I have never seen this sunbird before either. Fantastic image!

8 - Oh, very good capture/opportunity. The 'baby' is nice and sharp. Difficult to get 'it all' perfect in this. Criticism; mainly the composition and framing, but obviously depends what you had to work with. The colors are good, the texture in the nest that is discernible is good. To be able to get true 'stop motion' on that father(?) (and the detail on the bug(?) in it's mouth is good), is, I guess, lens/camera dependent. Just a little more context/space for this shot (again, if you had it) may have made this even better in my opinion. 640 height too, likely. Save for a different angle/perspective (retrospective obviously), not much to be done about the green behind 'father', which while makes this a more colorful shot overall, perhaps detracts slightly from the 'father' and the impact of this capture. Up to 8 from 7, mainly for 'difficulty'.

Wow, talk about right place, right time. Very nice.

nice capture, the only thing I could wish for was for you to have a faster shutter to catch the wings even more in focus, otherwise love it

I don't think I've ever seen this breed of bird before, and you captured such a stunning shot of them! This is truly a remarkable image. Love the motion blur and the feather fan of the wings. The lighting is wonderful and the focus/DOF is dead on. The crop may be a tad tight, but it allows the viewer a much closer look. Really top-notch work. Bumping up... 10
