Nice image. Love the tongue. I might try a bit less empty space on the right.

Really cool pose! The large version appears to be the same size though.

And it's licking its chops

Nice comp. and colors. Good job keeping the feather detail in the whites.

Nicely done.

Wonderful timing to get this and I like the composition as is with that nice background to showcase the hummer, way to go.

Good detail and exposure; nice catching the tongue out. I'd trim a little on the right if this isn't cropped a lot already.

Nice detail and wonderful BG color on this image. Good catchlight on the eye. I think it's sticking it's tongue out at you.

Great image. I agree with the comment on comp. I would also give a little more head room and less under the bird but that is just me.

Beautiful sharp image. The tongue makes the image for me. Amazing to catch the tongue at 1/120
