another amazing image from this artist e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n… " width="15" height="15" alt="
the composition of the image is splendid (even to the triangle structure created by the color in the lone flower to the beak and back feathers of the bird e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="20" height="20" alt="

she displays the natural world this little bird lives in by giving the bird's environment almost as much priority as the humming bird itself - and lets us see just how little these guys are e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="20" height="20" alt="
her signature does not distract from the image as so many watermark/sigs do and the clarity and attitude of the subject is stunning - very typical of these little guys - grumpy e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
since i don't believe in perfection i left one star off the vision rating system - but honestly - if there were such a thing as a perfect image i think this one would qualify - hands down e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="20" height="20" alt="

but then - i'm kind of partial to hummingbirds e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Thank you for taking the time to write up this critique! I've been wondering about my new signature too - I wanted something more prominent, but not distracting... something that said "me" on it, so I appreciate that you commented on that part too!!

I saw them everywhere, but the weather was so crappy that this is the best shot I could get. I bet yours is super sharp!

How do you get such detailed photos of birds? I can never get them.

I'd actually say that this one is not as detailed as it could be (lighting was poor). However, a steady hand and good sharp lens helps.
