Very nice hummer shots. Did you use flash for these?

Excellent captures of the bird!!! Amazing how similar they look to the female Anna's. The beak seems to be a bit curved or am I seeing this wrong in #1?

I didn't use any flash for these shots. In RSP I did add some fill light tho. Thanks for the nice comments.

Nice to see hummers feeding naturally for a change.

Beautiful Hummer shots. Nicely captured doing what they do best. If they were mine I would be tempted to crop away the brightness on the left of the image. Just a suggestion

Thanks Gary for the suggestion. It is quite distracting the brightness.

Great captures, Lava. I'm jealous. I agree with Gary about cropping the brightness to the left. It would make these great shots even better.

Definitely a crop of the left to take out the brightness, but apart from that Lava two excellent shots of the hummer. The focus is perfect in these shots of the bird, well done.
