Hi Juan, the 2nd and the last.
I hope you don't mind the critique.

I don't mind the critique but you are wrong on both pictures, can you show me some of your multiple flash images so that I can see how to do it right? :-)

I said they were over flashed not over exposed, those 2 shots are extremely FLAT looking.
Take some critique and you'll be a better photographer in the long run, tone down the flash to show some shading and contour. Although a lot of set up shots are beautiful it is not my thing,
I don't use flash and I don't do set up shots because on both accounts they look to artificial.

Not only that your hummers (and other bird photos) are excellent, they will help me immensly when I will need to ID whatever found on my next trip there! Muchas gracias, Juan!

#1 and #7 are my favs. The Coquette is just a beautiful looking bird and your captured this portrait shot exceptionally well. However from an overall image my fav is the Mango. She is also a very beautiful bird, the composition works very well, the position/pose of the bird and for whatever reason I really like the use of banana plants . IMO the lighting setup for that shot looks spot on.

Maybe on the last 2 images but I don't agree on the 2nd one - as you can see light and shadow on the leaves, and the bird.

Many thanks for your comment. The plant is not native to the American continent but from Asia, it is called Pink velvet banana (Musa velutina) and hummingbirds love it!
