A female Ruby Throated hummingbird. Taken with a 70-300 at full zoom. The focus is a bit soft cause' the little critter wouldn't give me enough time to get it precise. This is also a self portrait. If you look closely at her eye that's me reflected in it -

Very good capture of this little guy in flight. It is very hard to get them in focus, but you did a great job.

Peek-a-boo I see you! What a great picture. Yes I must say it is a bit off focus. That said, however, I don't really think it does any harm to the image, if anything, I think it may have adds just that little bit more ti it. The colors are brilliant and the light green and orange background brings out the bird nicely. Kudos to you!

Amazing photo! Well done on getting that clarity on the bird. Couldn't have been an easy photo to take.
