Aerial Combat

Getting two hummingbirds in focus in the same frame is always a challenge, and luck plays its part. Though, as the golfer Gary Player remarked, when congratulated on a lucky shot, “The more I practise, the luckier I get.”

Excellent interaction shot.

I like the interaction between the two hummers. That’s great.

I’m not as wild about the processing on the image. It looks overexposed. I have no idea what the original in camera capture looked like so can’t really provide any specifics.

Wonderful action! I wonder where there is more room in the original – it feels a bit crowded.

Nice action shot and I would decrease the cyan slightly in the sky. The whites in the male rufous are slightly over-exposed. Easily fixed as thgere seems to be plenty of details present…Jim
