Aaah, it's time for the hummingbirds and your's is wonderful. Focus is pin sharp and you fast shutter speed froze action perfectly. Beautiful colors and perfect exposure. The flower is beautiful as well, with excellent focus in all the right places. Excellent DOF and great green background. I'm not sure about the crop. The hummingbird is in center, but I think it is ok because of the dominance of the flower. (Wish we had a note to identify the flower). This is an outstanding hummingbird post.

Beutiful image Sylwester. Colors, details and light are wonderful. You've nailed the hummingbird perfectly. I'm not that sure about the composition. There's qiute a lot of empty space on the left side wich does'nt add to the image/scene. A crop untill 1/2 of an inch behind the birds tail would give the image more impact imho. Best regards, Harry

Hello Sylwester

Nice fast shutter to stop the motion of that hummingbird. Lovely focus as well. I enjoy the anchoring that the plant gives to the photograph. It is a natural eye path. However, the bird would have been better placed perhaps at the top of the photo instead of dead center, which would be more balanced. I know these birds are quick and hard to capture, so this is still a very beautiful photo. My point is very minor and is not meant to detract from this very nice photograph. TFS, Daniel.
