Support aesthetically I would prefer the bird to have more space to the right side.. not being in the center.. but the subject is nice. Ggia (talk) 15:37, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Poor white balance, poor quality. Hummingbirds tend to hang still in the air (it is in their nature), so easy snap. พ.s. 11:16, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I agree they tend to hang still in the air, but only for very shorts period of time! I spend five afternoons just getting this running around like crazy. I felt like being in constant slow-motion as compared to the very rapid movements of the Humminbird. I know I am an inexperienced birds photographer, but easy - far from for me at least:-) --Slaunger (talk) 21:06, 14 November 2011 (UTC) [reply]
  - The trick is patience, a tripod and ideally a remote for you camera. Hummingbirds tend to hover at the same spots again and again (a bit like dragonflies or hoverflies). Leave the camera on manual focus, wait and shoot. The only hard parts are the location and the patience... พ.s. 07:50, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Harsh lighting. Composition needs space to the right. Strongly oppose the crude background noise removal by nominator - this has blurred the edges of the subject and existing noise wasn't intrusive. Suggest either restoring original or else using better software/technique to remove background noise, ideally from the original RAW. Colin (talk) 22:34, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- As above, though it shouldn't make much difference now. I would better follow my own rules (especially #1)! -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 17:35, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Colin — Z 14:27, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
