First Place - Sharp-eyed Hummer (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php/115284-Theme-image-Sharp-eyed-Hummer) - Judy Howle
Everything about this one is lovely! The pose, the colors, the feather details... I especially like how the hummer's throat color stands out. Well done, Judy!

Second Place - Tracking (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php/115223-Weekly-Theme-Tracking) - Jackie Schuknecht
I love the depth and softness to the feathers in this, and that piercing gaze is simply mesmerizing. Well done, Jackie!
