I love hummingbirds and I especially love this shot! Colors are beautiful and I like how you captured the hummingbird without the blur of the wings. I'm jealous! :-)

Congrats with the ribbon.
This was my bet to win a ribbon and I was right :)

WOAH You surely got a winner on all sides. This is amazing. I can see this on the cover of a wildlife or nature magazine. Congrats.

What a tremendous shot.

I'd love to crawl inside the head of the genius who gave this a "1" and understand the thought process going on...

More like Dancing or perhaps show hands/wings ;) The highlights lean a just bit on the Cyan side but it's a crisp, clear and a technically perfect shot. (none voter, just commenting)

This is nearly a 3D-shot. You've managed to capture the bird in a unique way. And the colours are completing the concept.

Great catch

Chronically so. That's one mean flash and saturation slider you got there. Beautiful technical shot. Might be a bit psychedelic for some. Will do well.

The colors are divine. I love the way the colors of the bird are reflected in the garden. Amazing capture. Congratulations on accomplishing this difficult feat. Did you use a flash?
