And more Hummers

[ied]

I found the thread on hummers most interesting. I pulled up my folder
and picked these to share. They all could use some enhancing in PP I'm
sure and I'd appreciate your comments. All have been heavily cropped.

Hi Irene,

Thank you so much for sharing. A lovely set!

I've just discovered these birds so I'm not qualified to advise, just to share my personal preferences which would be for #3 for the colours and wings except the focus seems a little soft on the eyes and the dof ideally in my view would include the feet and tail. Just like mine when I try using a slower shutter speed (1/200 sec from your exif data) and something I hope to learn during these next few months. # 2 and #4, the head and eyes are so beautifully sharp, and I love the wings in #2. I'm not crazy about the feeder in #1.

Thank you David and John. I appreciate your comments.

Thank you Christina. I do appreciate your comments regarding your preferences.
I agree, I need to try some captures at a higher ss in the next month or so before they
head south.

That's a great set of images Irene, especially the third image. The only PP that occurs to me is to possibly lighten the eye area in the first two - but that's about all.

Thank you for your comments and suggestion John. I really appreciate it.
