Very nice shot. Too bad the sky was so blue (it sort of kills the afterburner a bit). 9 Rob the Swash

Fueling for flight

VERY good hummingbird shot! It's lovely. The tongue is a GREAT touch! That said, even though I love THIS shot more than most hummingbird shots, for this challenge, I'd have preferred it to be really flying. 7 Rob the Swash

Flying

This reminds me of a shot from last week's macro challenge. Honestly, I liked the other version better. Cool little fireworks thing going on with the upper seeds (were they really flying?). Photo seems a tad overly manip'd (for my tastes).

I'd have liked to see the eagle closer, but that's asking a bit too much. I think the framing is a bit backwards, the bird is soaring out of the frame instead of into it. 8 Rob the Swash

Very good shot! Rotors nicely stopped! The background seems a bit hazy, do you have a haze filter? 9 Rob the Swash

Interesting, but far too manipulated for my "photo" tastes (sorry, my bad). Did you add grain? (see sky) 5 Rob the Swash

Very well taken photo. IMO, the challenge really was aimed at an action shot, this isn't. I'm not going to "punish" you greatly, just a little ;).....6 Rob the Swash

A bit too much saturation (I think), it makes the wings seem over-exposed. Nice action stop! I like the angle of this photo, nice capture. 8 Rob the Swash

Ehh, it's a fine (but odd) portrait, and I do "get" the connection with the challenge, but no, I'm not going for "full challenge" credit. The glare across the forehead and on the nose is a bit heavy. 5 Rob the Swash

Lovely shot, but it's on the ground (as you know). It's a bit of a stretch. Love the reflection - where are you? (I like that part) 8 Rob the Swash
