Once again this is gorgeous work Birdie

I have been looking at the first pretty hard because it shows some interesting things. Not the least of which is how the dof fell on this one. At first I wasn't really fond of, too much of the backside is OOF. What that does though is lead my eye right to the birds eye and then makes me stay on the image longer. Staying on it longer I also noticed that the wing tucked under the tail is close enough to sharp focus that it adds a wonderful depth to...Show more →

Thanks so much Tim. I almost did not work the first one because the very OOF you saw , so glad you like it .

Birdie:

Please take my critique only as a means to be self critical and to improve.

1. Great captures.

2. You have posted better hummer sets in the past.

3. Image quality in #2 is the best of the set.

4. Bring in more color via flowers.

5. I love the pose in #5.

Ted

I can't wait for some flowers to bloom, spring can't come soon enough. I actually had some flowers from Valentines day that I put out hoping they would come close enough , but no they stayed far away.

Patience is the key. Hang, hang and hang some more.

When in doubt, put what ever color/flowers in the bg as to change up the background.

Gee, whiz, Birdie.
These are all really swell

At first, I thought #1 was oof. Then I came back to it. Nope- it isn't.
But that's got to be the shallowest dof I ever saw that wasn't a micro shot!
