 this nest was like 10 m on a three and at the beggining it was kind of difficult to take the shoot without interrupting the hummingbird, I use the complete zoom capability to take this picture.

Hi my name is Kari from the critique club.

First impression
Interesing subject for the title .. not too sure how this fits.

Subject[\b]
The title meets the challenge .. how the picture does well that is ok ...

[B]Composition
I think that this is a little too centred and this is distracting. I also find that whatever it is that is pink in the background is distracting. Working towards the rule of thirds of the golden triangle rules of photography may help in creating interest that will keep the veiwer looking at the picture, rather than saying 'its a bird' and moving on.

[bTechnicals[/b]
The DOF is causing slight difficulties with the background in this shot ... even though having it outside the field is good .. it kind of makes me want to know what is there.

The actual focus appears to be on the nest and not on the bird .. which makes me wonder what I should be looking at ... I know birds are hard to photograph.

Improving the score
Take a look at the comments above and see how and if they can be applied.

Final words
This is a good picture .. and I think is a growing point for you .. you have an interesting portfolio which I am sure will grow.

Any questions about the critique send me a PM.

Cheers

Kari
