Just a couple more of the Ruby Throats. Things are kind of slow with all this heat.

Was in an artsy mood for the last one.

As always your nits, crits and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

Hope you enjoy,

Birdie


Have reworked last shot per suggestions form Karl . Did some lightening, contrast and vibrance to the bird. Plus darken just a bit a area around the bird and sharpened more. Is the background now too sharpened? Is this now going in a better direction?





















Reworked - What do you think?

The first is my pick Roberta. The background of the last is interesting

#1 is darn sweet! I guess I like to be teased in and leave a bit for the imagination, I like it

#2 there are things I don't like but there are more that I do like on this one so it works

#3 The BG alone is wonderful Somehow just needs a bit more separation for the hummer or a bit more dynamics in the eye to work better? I will tell you that you surely have a great eye for art, I would like to see you do more with this BG again or similar ones.

Terrific, Birdie! I was really liking 1 and 2, and then when I saw 3, that just hooked me! I like where you're going with it and agree with Karl's suggestions on it.

More excellent hummers. How did you get the background on #3? Interesting look.

1 is a spectacular shot Birdie, oh my do I ever like that one
2 I'm kind of with Karl on this one, there sure is a lot to like but overall it just doesn't stand up well next to the first one
I'll stay away from the 3/4 discussion

Really nice Birdie, I hope it cools down for you some.

Paul, the hummers seem to be feeling the heat as well. I am seeing all the birds with their beaks open quite a bit

Birdie IMO that is a very nice improvement on the re-work. It is just enough without looking over worked to my eyes. Other thought is to clone is a bit of the colors around the hummer but leave that kind of cool lighter halo around it from the BG.

It really is a splendid creation, the BG patina is magnificent!

Super set Birdie, love both art work, my eyes tend to gravitate towards color, it stayed a few more seconds admiring the reworked shot.

Wonderful set, Roberta. The artsy shot would make a wonderful image placed on note cards. Lovely work.

I really like the treatment on the last two. Very arty, and it works. Very much like a greeting card, or a water color you might see for sale.

I don't usually like those "treatments". But, I admit I like the last one. Well done, Birdie.
