Nice crisp shot - not sure if it says 'Still Life' (for me, anyway)

Still Life - Inanimate object purposely arranged to emphasize texture, color and composition.
Still Life - Anything that does not move or is dead such as cut flowers, fruit, food, wine and so on

Very nice shot. Hard to capture a still humming bird, but not sure whether this photo meets the challenge.

I don't think that's a still life....

In each definition of still life that I've found, it says that a still life is a depiction of inanimate objects. I'm not voting until later, but this doesn't meet the classic definition of a still life. (nice picture though...)
