The last two images are of a hummingbird that suffered an earlier injury I assume from a fight with another hummingbird. Glad he is still feeding and will hopefully be fully recovered by the time for migration. ### Specific Feedback Any ### Technical Details Canon R7, 200-800mm lens, five flash setup @ 1/8 power, tripod. ISO 200, f20 or f22, 1/250s * * * ### Critique Template Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas. - Vision and Purpose: - Conceptual: - Emotional Impact and Mood: - Composition: - Balance and Visual Weight: - Depth and Dimension: - Color: - Lighting: - Processing: - Technical: ---

Allen, a wonderful collection of Hummingbird images here. No thoughts for change at all, just enjoying the images overall. I will say about the injured bird, yes, they’re truly fierce competitors that I witness daily at my feeders… 👍 ---

Excellent series of hummingbird images, Allen. The lighting is excellent and they seem to come at that sprig of honeysuckle blossoms from beautiful angles. ---
