    Nice pose and that killer green background is nice. The bird needs some room to breath.

    nice catch, the bird is too big in the frame. The IQ has suffered quite a bit, not much fine details visible on the hummer

    Agree that the hummer is too tight in the frame.
    The hummer is not tack sharp and I am not sure if this is due to motion or a big crop.

    This is much better and the IQ of the bird is better.

    Hi David,

    First off, welcome to BPN and thanks a stack for your membership support. Lots of good comments and advice above. Did you replace the originally posted image with the image in Pane #5? They look the same to me and both show some nice detail on the back feathers ...

    Do you have some room below the bird? The head is turned slightly away from us and tehe o-o-f whitish area bugs me a lot :)

    with love, artie

    Hi Artie,
    Yes I replaced the original post. It seemed that most felt it as over cropped.
    The original post didn't include the whitish area on the left. I can get rid of that with another try.
    Thanks for your comments.

  9. Thanks Arthur Morris thanked for this post
