Still working on capturing images of these little birds. Not an easy task... but... a fun one.

Shot with the Canon 5Ds + Sigma 150mm macro or Canon 200mm F/2.8

Thanks for looking.
Hatch

Frank:

I love hummer shots with "pop". Yours do. +1

That being said, at first look, I did not like #1 for the crop. Looking at it several times, I do like the image except for the brownish blob in the right upper corner. My eyes are drawn back to it. IMO, cloning that out and a smaller crop would enhance the image.

#3 and 4 are stunning shots.

Your technical basics are there. Take it a step further and "no feeder".

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Hey Frank, ain't it fun?!? The birds are great, imo. Maybe a tad oversharpened, but jeez, I like them. Have to agree w/ Ted re the blob- color just doesn't work w/ the rest of the image. As for the feeders, well, for me the 1st feeder is borderline- probably lose. But that last one, I don't mind at all. It can be said, that is a big part of their "habitat" now. We humans continue to alter. My 2 cents. Post more, please.

Many thanks all. Glad you like the shots. #1 ... I could clone out the wall in the background... I'm sure it would help the image. :)

The next step is I want to use flowers and have the birds photographed in front for nicer looking backgrounds. I've watched a few YouTube videos and I have something in mind. I just need to make it happen :)

Thanks again,
Hatch
