Well, I don't see any replies yet, so here goes.
You were very busy over the weekend, huh?
I love the wood duck and his reflection. :thumb
That little orange headed guy is really unusual. Nice catch there.
All of the hummers look a little over-saturated to me. I would back off a little on the colors there, I think. But they look pretty clear to me. I have a hard time getting them sharp with all that movement.:D
I think you did a real nice job on that last orchid. I love it.:thumb
I'm not a real expert, but I appreciate how much effort goes into these shots. You did a great job.

The Hummers maybe a little saturated the sun was shining right on them, when it does as you know they light up like a light bulb, I'll try to tone them down a bit.

Thanks for the response, I really appreciate it, those little guys are really challenging.

All your shots look very good to me, my only suggestion is to only post one or two shots for critique because you will get more feedback that way. All these shots in one post can be a bit overwelming for someone to critique.

Froggy,
the guy right under the woodduck is just super, I like his/her color and the background. The wooducks are also nice. I think hummers are just pain hard shots, my hats of to you there.

Good series of shots. Ten shots is a but much to critique. Why don't you post one of them in the "whipping post"?

Hi Froggy,

As has already been mentioned maybe just posting a few shots for critique would be better.

Heres quicky though.
The first Hawk in flight shots are nice, though somewhat soft, probably from being cropped. Hard to get close to those guys.

The Wood Duck is a bit shadowed.

The Hummers are really nice. I think the colors are ok, at least on my monitor. There is a little background noise though. This may have come from sharpening, selectively sharpening the bird only may help.

Nice series.
