Gosh - I thought you were stragneghost(john)...he had just won a ribbon with this guy
,
who looks just like your little bird, and I thought he entered both challenges. Sorry if I offended you with my comment below.
That little guy looks like he's sportin' an attitude! Very well done. Sharp focus and lovely colors. I think the shot would benefit from a little less of the feeder, but whatcha gonna do in a no edit challenge! This was probably hard enough to get as it is.
Crop and DOF is good. Birds are always a good subject IMO. The colours on his neck are great too. The feeder, though hard to be rid of and acting as a bit of a frame is a bit distracting.
John? Just commented on your ribbon winner. Not voting yet, just browsing...have a feeling this is you (or your daughter, maybe) I have never seen a humming bird "stopped" great capture. Beautiful bird, color and composition.
