 * Oppose. Poor focus and - here it comes - motion blur. I know this is a difficult subject, but I've seen better. Good for the article, though! --Janke | Talk 08:26, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

 * IMO it is a good high resolution (lots of room to be downsampled) image of a very difficult subject photographed in the wild (not next to a feeder) with the strong mitigating circumstances. In the full resolution one could see pollen flying around hummingbird bill. I sure agree that a better images were and could be taking. IMO it is correct statement about most of the subjects. That's why I withdraw the nomination. MER-C, I would appreciate it very much, if you could close it right away. Thank you all for the votes.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
