Support edit I agree - nice and unusual colours, great control of focal plane, no motion blur (not easy with a hummingbird, I imagine). Looking forward to more nominations from this photographer (check out his userpage - nice stuff!) Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 14:55, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support edit The sharpness is up to (but not over) our standards, and the EV of three birds interacting in a nest is too good to pass up. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 16:41, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I wish more of the nest could have been in focus, but the birds themselves are fine. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 12:31, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
