This juvenile male spent quite some time grooming and stretching . These shots happened over about a 30 minute span. Always lots of fun to watch.

The wind was blowing the thin branch up and down along with sun coming and going between the clouds , so there are differences in the background and lighting.

As always your nits, crits and suggestions are most welcomed and appreciated.

Thank you for taking your time to look .

I hope you enjoy .

Birdie

Looks a little like a yogi, bend and twist, bend and twist.

I like them all such good poses

Lovely images, Birdie! I like the poses of the HB. Sometimes, I am amazed at the duration of grooming, stretching birds. They seem to be taking their time doing those routines.

The perch looks great, and the tones match the BG. Lovely set Birdie!

beautifully done, Roberta. love the sharpness of the pics with the eye in clear focus in all shots. Also like the way the light changes from shot to shot. Bravo.

Hello there ..............I looked at these a couple of times, I just couldn't get my mind to give me the comment that worked for me to offer you

Now it hit me.......................I think these need to be cropped tight, very tight and emphasize the glorious poses you captured. I think in most the large space is just too much space. May have been different if the hummer was strongly colored as I think it currently is just in too much competition with the BG.
These would make a very cool wall montage!
