• Is there any reason why you did not nominate the set of three images? MER-C 14:14, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

• I should have done. Nomination changed. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:34, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

• Support – Nice. Bammesk (talk) 15:29, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
• Comment - I don't really see any advantage to including all 3 images together. The second image works fine to illustrate the hummingbird feeding. The other two images don't add any useful additional information. Kaldari (talk) 04:35, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

• The third image is crucial Kaldari to demonstrate how the hummingbird stretches its body to pierce the flower. Charlesjsharp (talk)

• Support – It is so strange how she backs into the spot in #1 and punches the flower in #3. How long did she stay after #3 with her beak in the flower, Charlesjsharp? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coffeeandcrumbs (talk • contribs) 22:15, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

• less than a second. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:50, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
