Hi Tm,

 

I always enjoy your work.  Always great technique, sharpness, color and light.  Great subject sharpness here, and the lighting is superb.  The only nitpick I would have is that the background, while well out of focus, is somewhat distracting with the color bars which appear to eminate in a fan pattern from bottom to top.  Perhaps you could improve that in post? 

 

Nevertheless, an artful image.  Congratulations - I wish I could get a shot this good of these guys, but hummingbirds are not that common in these parts.  We do have the occasional ruby throat, but that's it.

 


Best regards,

 

Dennis

Tm, you know I love your work, but yeah, that background kills it for me. Too "all over the place". Distracting as heck. Sorry man, but it just doesn't work on this one.

Thanks Dennis!

Thanks Kenneth!

 

LOL, I know what you folks mean and that's why I sat on this image for a few months (I think I took it in March or April). Background is a fence and that where they planted the firecracker flower bush.  On this one I got lazy and did not pick the flower and hang it on the fence. I will post another one that I picked the flower and hung it on the fence and you will see nice background :-)
