Hummingbirds are so hard to catch still as they move about so quickly. This has wonderful color and DOF and the branch is a great leading line. This is superb ! My first and looking like only 10
I love this shot. A guaranteed ribbon in my book. I commend your patience to take pictures of hummnigbirds. Do you know what species? Almost looks like a juvenile. I love how branches in the foreground and background are very fuzzy. Puts lots of emphasis on bird and dead branch. Nice work! Keep it up.
SUPERB!!!! I really, really love this shot. The colors, the depth of field, the composition with the bird at the far right -- exceptional. Okay, I had you an 8 -- now I am thinking you should be a 10.
Nice nature shot. Good color, contrast and I love the composition the way you put the subject off to the lower right with the branch running linearly accross the bottom and the blurred brown object in the top left. Good job!
