    Duane:

    Sharp, well exposed, great wing position and birds angle in frame.

    I might consider some subtle burning in of the flowers, esp. the underside of the lower one where there are the lighter/whiter areas, just to help keep our focus on the bird.

    Well done.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Amazingly sharp wings for a natural light image although there is something funky going on above the near wing--not sure if it is the far wing slightly blurred or ??? Wing position and EXP great. A bit contrasty and the light area behind the lower flower is a bit distracting.

    Nice image. Lovely bird and cool action captured. I believe this is a female, but what is the species, it is important to know since there are a bunch of people here, me included, that likes to know the species been photographed. Thanks.
