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


Sadly, it is almost that time when these little beauties will head further south for the winter. While I only had a very few this year ( 2 to 4 ) , I surely did enjoy what time I had with them.



Your comments, suggestions, nits all help me.

Thanks so much for looking and putting up with my limited garden variety

I hope you find something to enjoy.

Birdie

Just amazing Birdie....I am sorry your hummers are headed across the border....maybe if Donald Trump has Mexico put up the fence and of course pay for it, they will hang around longer in the future
The exposures and detail is something to behold!

Birdie, the last has the most elegant light I have seen on a hummer in a long time. The precision of sharpness is outstanding without being harshly sharp. The image has a great feeling of depth and the BG is lucious! Awesome

I know you struggle with comps at times but you have taught me a few lesson here
#1 that is quite special, you brought a delicate feeling to this image with your comp and vision here, wonderful!
#2 a difficult mix to put together for balance but it works just great for me. Nice placement and use of elements.
#3 technically amazing that this shot worked out with all points of sharpness and both eyes being well focused and presented. You have the contrast to perfection here, you presented it with a most natural feel to the light that was on the subject and did not overwork the darks, I can appreciate this PP work greatly, congrats.
#4 I do wonder what it would look like without the leaf? Not to say that it isn't quite nice as it is

A wonderful culmination of your dedicated efforts in all respects IMO

The bookends for me Roberta! That first is a very fine capture with the bird above and the wings likewise.

Oh Karl, thank you so much for all your instructions , patience and guidance as they have helped me so very much.

I tried cloning out the leaf , I could go either way with it .

Really, really nice! So sharp...maybe I should switch to Nikon. It must be the equipment, right?

Some of the best Hummingbird shots I have seen. Great sharpness with sense of motion in the wings and your backgrounds are super.
