I really love the detail and sharpness of this one. On one hand I'm enjoying it with the hummer so large in the frame. However, I think that it would probably be better if the bird wasn't so large in the frame. I may have dreams about this guy coming after me when I go to sleep. A wonderful hummer pose!!
What a lovely looking bird and pose. I have to agree with Lana, this image needs more room. I would also remove one of the catchlights!
Thanks guys for your comments. Maxis you keep reminding me to remove the catch lite and I keep forgetting.
Lana hope you are sleeping ok. I thought this was unique in seeing this little critter so close, but scaring folks isn't good either ;)
You are welcome Tom. Do it already!! :)
Hate to be a bit contrary but having the bird that size gives it alot of impact. I think it's cropped nicely.
I agree with Lana and Maxis on their point of views on your image. I have to say the pose captured is gorgeous. Well Done!
This is quite nice. Excellent position of the hummingbird. Well done!
Well done Tom,
I like the vibrant colors and razor sharp details on your subject...the background compliments him very well. must agree on the space issue, he needs more space around him to fly...too tight in frame...:cool:
