For me, you have chosen such a busy, multi-layered border it really takes away from the image itself :( With such a border I feel like you've taken a photo of a photo on a wall.
Oh, wow! That's what I said when this image popped up on the screen. Terrific capture! I have three of these little rascals that hang around the house and they are sooooooooo hard to catch! 7
I feel you've used the excessive framing to try and detract from the clarity of the bird.
Clearly you've done very well to get this image, but it lacks in post processing to 'bring it off' the page. The frames really are 'too much' and have dwarfed your subject.
Contrast, maybe Shadow/Highlights and then a REALLY GOOD go at High Pass sharpening.
I would have concentrated on the bird, worked levels, burned the eye and around the body (thinly) to make it POP.
I really like the image but I don't think this order/frame goes well with the image. A bit more contrast would relly make the bird stand out, in my opinion.
The border is more interesting than the photo in the fact that the blue and brown, neither of which exist within the image, argue attention away from the subject.
nice picture ... I think it could benefit from a slight boost in contrast ... I'm not a fan of the borders though ... they distract from your image ...
A bit noisy and flat in color. Good capture in general. I have never tried a hummingbird shot but I have to assume its not easy. That border though is a stinker. Really not good for your image.
Such a pretty shot with lovely subdued colours. I think the frame overwhelms it a bit but still its an interesting choice. Certainly stands out as different. For me however the beautiful bird and soft background stand on there own.
