Here are a few birds from this mornings shoot. I focused on the little ones and then on the hummers with Tom S. We had a blast as we always do. I switched up and did some shooting with the 300 f4L, the goldfinch is with that lens.

C&C as always.

Yes sir buddy you are on a roll here this time! That is a nice Tree Swallow my friend, very pleasing details and excellent eye contact, as a nit I think there is a bit too much on top
Are you the one saying you are tossing more Goldfinch shots than keeping, well aside from the perch that one is simply stunning and a gorgeous female, really neat shot!
I really love those flower shots, nice way to sneak in a few hummers #3 is a very unique comp, looks like a miss with the tongue Colors harmonize well and love the fade out on the floral I guess #4 could be considered a bit busy but busy in a good way, all elements work as you have a sharp hummer and colors that are enjoyable with those engergetic little birds. Your eye did good in seeing those colors work so well, nice series buddy!

Karl

Beautiful captures. I like the last the most.

Dang Dude, dem are goooooood. I'm partial to the hummer shots. The colours (notice the right way of spelling colours eh) sure pop. And the way the flowers are positioned (whatever they are) add some nice depth to your captures.

Well done buddy.

Super Job Tim # 3 is a killer shot. Ed

Sweet captures Tim. Like #2 and hummer shots best.

The colors in you HB shots are so beautiful and cheery

Thank You...... these really put a smile on my face

Ooooh Timmy!
I see you found a Goldfinch you like - I likes it too buddy Never mind the perch, beautiful pose, detail and lighting on her. Those two Hummer shots are unreal man, sweet, sweet, sweet BG in #4. Colors and detail are fabulous on those Tim. Very nice job the swallow too.

What's left to say? I think Karl has covered it all!

Beautiful set, Tim. I'm impressed that you get close enough with a 300 to get such detail. Well done.


Dave

Excellent Tim, love # 4

Superb shots, no.4 hummer looks terrific with the nice bright flowers and a purple bokeh!

The Swallow is a killer shot! Color,exposure and the sharpness are all excellent.
And the hummer shots are beautiful captures. I like the composition in both hummer shots. I like the fadeout of the flower in #3,
giving a sense of depth to the image and the composition of the flowers in #4 works very well.

Ooooooooooh a super set Tim. What a beautiful pose and colors and detail on the swallow. Similarly for the goldfinch and I don't see anything wrong with the perch, sure they will perch on anything
As for the hummer shots, in the first one its great to get the tongue out like that, a sweet capture, but for me the real beauty in the shot is how the flower disappears off into the distance behind the bird, like a highway to another world. And the last shot has such a variety of colors even in the bg.
A really excellent and enjoyable set my friend.

Tim
