Hi folks:

Anna's Hummingbird and Bee's trying for the nectar in feeder. Photo straight out of camera, cropping, resizing & tad of sharpening to JPG. Shoot RAW+JPG, and use JPG's for Documentories.

Gus, Now that is a cute shot, I see some round circle clone marks around bees and bird, looks nice and sharp!

[Alfred Forns]

Agree with Denise ..... do also see a degree of hostility on that hummer :)

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Denise:

Your right about the round circle marks, however, they were brush marks trying to even out the blue sky. Was surprised about the noise, and made 3 passes of noiseware pro for the first time ever before trying to even out the blue.

Thanks for your sharp eyes. What do you see now?

Hi Uncle Gus,
It looks like this Hummer is a bit disturbed with the bees...:eek::D
A good capture...I like the forward motion on the wings...watch out...:D:cool:

Gus- Good photo, nice and sharp with good colors. That hummingbird sure looks ticked!

I can see a couple spots of darker blue around the edges of the hummingbird that I would remove, and the sky behind the bees is noticeably darker. Also would remove the dark blue color around the hummer's bill.

[Kerry Perkins]

Nice shot Gus! Love the sharpness and the attitude. I can picture those bees skewered on the end of that bill!

[Harold Davis]

i definitely see some attitude in the hummer!!!! repost looks better, but i still see some brush marks under the bird.

[Dave Leroy]

Pretty ticked off looking hummer Gus. Don't be late refilling that jug! Good photo.

[Lance Peters]

Hi Gus - if looks could kill. Nice action.

Still some marks around the tail and under the body :)

This is too good, Gus; it brought a smile to my face just thinking of all the caption possibilities!
