    Well it's that time of year again. The hummers are starting to return!It won't be great until August, but at least some of the species make their migration early.

    Hi Kurt ... a cool capture , nice overall colors .
    Clean design and the pose is awesome .
    As presented I think it is quite " dark " IMHO .... so personally I would raise the exposure by X amount .

    Nice one and pleasure to look at with nice IQ .

    Beautiful. I agree that lightening the bird, especially the face, would improve this.

    Great bird, great flower, nice uniform BG. Yes, raising the exposure just a tad would be nice - I still like it as is though.
