    Very cool Jim. I like the softness of the perch and the curve it created on the right lower . Nice look at that tail too.

    What a beautiful image, Jim. I love the comp and the curves here, and the killer colors. Great EXP job on the white throat.

    Very nice looking hummingbird in a nice environment.
    Interesting PP, at f7.1, it seems you would have more of the perch in focus.

    A very beautiful, elegant image Jim. I like the little feet wrapped around the tip of the leaf. The whites are the throat look really good and I like the unusual view of the tail. I like it...a lot!

    Great bird and background, sharp and well exposed. Would like to see a bit more head turn.

    Absolutely love what you have done with this one, Jim. The angle on the bird is different. Your details, colors and BG are out of this world.

    It was nice having the chance to meet you out at FD.

    Hi Jim, super comp and placement of the HB, and the pose shows of the mixture of colours nicely. You have pretty much nailed the sharpness too.
