Hi Ed, Welcome to NatureScapes!

This is a nice study in greens and the exposure, sharpness and color all look right on. I only wish for a slight head turn or a flash of the red throat. The flash is perfect but what I like most is the leaf that the bird is sitting on leading your eye into the frame. Well done!

I like this, the greens all work together. Capturing a hummer like this is no easy task, at least for me...I tried! Nice job!! 8)

Welocome to NSN. I dont too often see these guys sitting still. Colors and exposure look good. Maybe next time the throat color will be there. I would be very happy to have this as though.

This is a nice photo of a relaxed hummer. Not always seen. My only wish is to have less dark in the BG.

Ed,

I like the overall look! The colors in the leaves, background and the Hummingbird all work together well! Great job!

A very nice hummer shot. I especially like it because it's so natural. Getting them to sit still is one thing...getting the shot of them doing that is even harder. Excellent.

Welcome to NatureScapes.Net! :)

Nice first post, I like the hummingbird perched on the big leaf. All the different shades of green make for a nice image.
