Congratulations to dane.dawg for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 15 votes - View Previous Winners


First Hummer of the season.
Three flashes used with remote flash trigger. I tried F-22 and did not like the diffraction, but F-14 seems to let to much ambient light in which causes ghosting.

Very nice set!
Three and four are my favorites!
Number two is very unique how the purple is spread!

These are all wonderful, impossible to pick a favourite. Clearly, this is not your first hummingbird rodeo!

Great shots. What lens were you using? Autofocus setup? How much are these cropped?

All are superb but the last has such interesting color that it stands out in this great set.
Great work!

Dane:

First off, great captures. Excellent detail on the hummers.

IMO, these are posted too large, the crops are too tight and try to vary your backgrounds, they don't look natural. I hope to see more.

Wow, fantastic shots. Even stuffed I couldn't get these birds that sharp. Keep up the impressive work!

Thank you for the CandC Ted.
The background deferentially needs work, and I am confused why the photos are so big on this website.
