You floral guys always use birds for an excuse to post your flowers

New Year 5774??
I'd say a magnificent Hummer outing Eric.......

#4 ROCKS! Just a little NR on BG and BAM!
Color depth and details on last is superb!
#2 lovely comp
#1 busy image but I really like how it looks! A splash of light to the head side and eye perhaps.....nits are still free
#3 just pull the silly bird and make it a floral shot for me

Not necessarily in order ^ ^

Karl

I just love the nits (and I replaced #4 with one with nr to the background as you suggested)....yup it's almost 5774 (tomorrow at sunset ushered in with the blowing of the Shofar)...

Welcome back, Eric! I really like this set. What grabs me most is the pleasing color tonality coupled with some fine detail and a pleasing setting.
#4 is on top of my favorites
Socrate

Thanks so much for the welcome and comments Socrate...I didn't expect to have shots like this to share as my first ones back but sometimes things just work out.

Funny how flower butts can be mighty pretty/interesting.
More to come...not butts...ok maybe butts, but not flower butts.

So glad you are back, we missed you !

You certainly have posted the most gorgeous shots !!! I love them all. No 4 is the shot I have been trying to get for more hours than I care to think of

Welcome back Eric

Birdie

You are too too sweet Roberta...your nice sentiments and words of encouragement are very meaningful...I could only hope to get some of the shots and have the photographic vision you possess.

#5 for me. Great flower

It's nice to be back...and thank you! I thought that flower was pretty cool especially up close. These gardens were the most amazing I think I have ever seen...by a wide margin.

Sweet stuff, Eric.
The last two hummer images really get me.
And the flower is downright scary-looking!
Charlie

Thanks so much Charlie...I was getting a little tired of those non colored images...fun as it is...a blast of color works wonders to brighten the day.

#4 is such a fine tease! Wow for the set Eric. The butt of the dahlia is pretty cool too!

Take care.

Really appreciate the nice words Brian...it was a great fun morning shooting not only the hummers but the most remarkable garden I've ever seen.

Hey look who the cat dragged in!

Nice to see you back, the place wasn't the same without you

A fine set of hummers to mark your return

If you are looking for nits...
1 is a bit dark
4 my second favorite could use a bit more dof, bump the ISO 1600 or 2k is nothing with that body (the camera not you you nut)
2 is my pick of the set, I just love the feel of the shot, I can almost see the bird floating around.

Tim

Crap, if I knew I was going to get this kind of treatment I would have stayed on the black and white forum where no one pays attention or comments (except a select few and you know who you are ). Seriously, this is exactly the kind of stuff I want to hear and no one should be afraid to be honest and put their $.02 in. I would hope we all want to improve and the only way is to have a second, third or forth set of eyes critique the images. Of course I totally disagree with you ...no seriously, I was very surprised to have not been able to get 2 inches dof with f8....I was totally frustrated when I viewed the images on the computer and saw the tail feathers were oof...I'm sure I'll get another opportunity like this in another 60 years so what the hey!
Btw, you missed all my neat black and white shots while I was in a foreign forum.
Thanks for all the support buddy!

Welcome back buddy!! I'm glad to see you posting again Eric. Nice shots for a newbie... And I didn't know you preferred a rear view.

OK, enough silliness. These are all very nice, but 4 rocks. A nice rear view too ~ Ron

Hey Ron, their ain't nothin' wrong with a floral butt....of course the little rubys were able co-stars in one of the most wonderful gardens I have ever seen. I really appreciate the welcome back greeting and it's nice to be back. I almost came back as Carlos Danger but thought better of it
