frickin' ridiculous. This photograph is so unreal, and is an example of why digital photography technology pushes the boundaries of what we can do as artists. I cannot believe how sharp this is, and the colors are so earthy and warm. I think your title is a bit goofy though, I'm wondering why you chose it... Otherwise, my favorite so far although I'm only 54 in! Its a 9 now, but I'll probably be back to bump it to 10. Something is going to have to be really killer to be better than this.

Great shot.... sharp and crisp.

Wowsers! I know how hard it is to shoot those suckers (I've tried :-) . That's incredible. Amazing detail. Nice!

Considering how difficult it is to get a good shot of one of these flying, I'd say it is indeed a gem. Iridescence just doesn't capture well with still shots.

excellent texture. could use some color, but its not too bad

Voted earlier leaving comments now. What a stunningly beautiful amount of detail on the body of this hummingbird!!! Love the colors and fine textures in the feathers that we can see of this small bird. The wings are blurred but that gives off a wonderful sense of motion and, in a way, coupled with the blurred bokeh background a wonderful 3D effect. The body of the hummingbird just pops off the page. This tiny fast moving bird seems to be zooming towards us. Great job in capturing this beauty!

Beautiful little hummer with nice detail and tones but the feathers look a tad over sharpened to me. Still a 7 from me.

Colors seem muted, almost hard to tell throat is ruby.

great capture, the details and face and neck are excellent
Post actions
Very nice, a bit oversharp
Post actions
The only thing holding me back from giving you a 10 is the title and I feel a little noise reduction or not sharpening the bokeh could have earned you that last point.
Post actions
Great capture. The head/throat looks a bit oversharpened to me, but still a shot to be very, proud of. Also, I like how the background "matches" the bird. It gives the shot a sense of sophistication and elegance.

Go ahead, hit me over the head with the relevance to the challenge!

Great hummer shot! Beautiful detail and tones. Well done.
Post actions
interesting use of toning, most folks go for the colour on these little guys. Ya know, it really does work for me. Nicely done.
Post actions
Gorgeous detail and clarity!!
Post actions
I can't say I really understand your title (EDIT - the second part that is) but as far as the image is concerned I think it is simply amazing. The colours, focus, background, movement and composition are all first class. Well done and all the best for the challenge.

Amazing detail on this shot.

The bird is lovely and very well photographed, although I do find the line across the background (at the top of the left wing) a little distracting.

Great capture! I love the golden tones of this photo and the feather detail is so good. Nicely done.
Post actions
Put this at 9, but dropped it back a bit as I find the sharpening to be a bit overdone, especially in the chest which detracts from the eye.
Post actions

Lost me with the title but nice capture all the same.
Post actions
Quite a capture. I love the brownish tones throughout.
Post actions
Wonderful timing and clarity. Great work!
Post actions
Totally DNMC, IMO.
Post actions
great detail on the throat feathers - interesting background also - how those wings can flap so fast and the body stay so still is a mystery to me...
Post actions
Great detail in the shot, not a big fan of the tone but only my opinion.
Post actions
A little noisy in the background but that Ruby is a gem for sure!

What's with the title, that takes away from the great shot

Ounce for ounce as fierce as a tiger!

WOW. The detail in the feathers is so clear, so stunning. This is jaw-dropping. The motion of the wings, the DOF, the colors... Beautiful.
Post actions
Great shot. I can never get these guys to be still long enough to get a good shot. Great job - 9
Post actions
i love the background color it really bring out the red in its neck. additionally i love the blur incorporated in the photo it really gives me the feeling that its such a fleeting moment. one of 2 10's i gave in this challenge. AMAZING job

Brilliant take! Very nice DOF & post processing.

Amazing image (hate the title, but no dings). When I first came to dpchallenge I was stunned by the hummingbird images, then a bit bored, but now I'm stunned again. It's an unusual angle, and I love what you did with the tones in this.

Lovely detail on his torso. This must have been very difficult to get.
