Sound like a great place to stop to eat and enjoy nature, great work on all three.

Nice set up shots, looks like you were adding some sugar water to help with the feeding.

Thank you, Tim. Different flowering plants in pots were there, the smooth background being the others side of the slope a few miles away, and there were quite a few hummingbirds flying around but yes, our guide sprayed the plants with sugar water to attract them to the plants alright but still their movement was beyond our control. Those droplets and other indications of shimmering can easily be cloned out using the "content-aware tool" but I decided not to since I didn't want to hide the conditions. It is, what it is.
Gorgeous set Joshua! You are a force to be reckoned with using the A7rII/Canon 400mm combination (and just about any other lens for that matter) and your eye for wonderful composition and lighting. Congrats!
