Excellent set Tester. In complying with the new critique forum format, I might point out the harsh shadows in #1and #4 which are distracting for me. Therefore, #2 and 5 are my picks.

Wow Ted, patience paid off big time. These are very beautiful, perfect light, background and the simplicity of the single flower and the hummer.

They come mid-June when my scarlet Monarda starts blooming.
But this early Spring, I decided to buy whatever plants I can find in bloom from March til June that hummers like.
Not much of a selection of in bloom flowers here. But my beardtongue just had one bud open today so who knows maybe I will see them before Summer arrives
Have a blast with your hummers Ted
What's the name of your pretty flowers - I love them Thanks!

Nice! I've put my feeder out, and I've seen a little sporadic activity but nothing worth trying to set up and shoot yet. Once it gets a little warmer, there will be 2-4 at a time vying for position.

A harsh shadow is one where there is no little or no detail. There is quite a bit of detail in the shadows in the pics you mention Herb. In keeping with keeping it natural. I did just that.
Therefore, #2 and 5 are my picks. 
Thanks!
