Wow Carlos. I know how hard it is to catch these fellows in a pose like this. You got it perfectly. Wonderful! Ann C

Can't add anything, Carlos, except to say that it looks like you are making excellent use of your 10D! Helen

I am always envious of those who can capture these speedy little critters. It sure helps to have a nice big zoom. A very classic composition and the colors are beautiful. Maybe a tad oversharpened particularly along the belly and throat of bird. Beautifully done, my compliments. -- LC (autumnsky)

Carlos, this is perfect. Fantastic job of focus and DOF. Susan

Carlos, you captured the "rapid movement" of the wings and the "stillness" of the bird's body really well here. Add to that other positives like the colors, the clarity, the background DOF effect, and the simple composition. I think it's a super photo, Carlos...nice capture of a beautiful hummer. MFC

Carlos this is fantastic. The hummers are so hard to capture.

Wow, this is gorgeous! Great example of movement, beautiful color, and perfectly composed. The "S" curve of the bird's body adds even more artistic charm. Wow again! bottles

OH WOW! This is AWESOME!!! Not to mention the THRILL of seeing this
beautiful beautiful humming bird. Sigh.
