A very nice look at the hummingbird; nicely composed and the flowers are nice. A rather different pose for a hummer. ---

This composition is wonderful, David. The detail is excellent, as always, and the exposure looks spot on. I do kind of wish the hummer had given you a bit better head turn, but they don’t take direction well. Did they spray sugar water non the plant? It looks as if the Hummingbird is licking it off the stem. ---

This is in the cloud forest and was taken after the misty fog had cleared. I also wished for a better head turn but I liked it for the unusual pose. ---

Wonderful colors and details in this Hummer, David. I also like the flower he is on. ---

Hi David, Really nice details in bird and plant. Head turn would have been great to have, but not nit-worthy. I like this as presented…Jim
