| Awesome job Rosemary! This is so pretty - I was trying to think of the words "oil painting" when I wrote my comment. I can see something like this on a canvas. Congrats on your new PB! |

Hello from the Critique Club.
First off, I love this shot, I find it to be very calming.
I am at odds over the two birds in here, when I crop it to just the top bird, it looks great, but something is missing, then the two of them together looks just as good. I would be interested to see what it would look like in this size with the lower bird not in it at all.
Your background is such a dreamy colour, the greens compliment the breast orange so well. The motion of the wings are perfect, if it has been caught in situ this shot would not have had such impact.
I think just a tweak of straightening would have leveled the lower bird and it would not have affected the top bird and the placement wouldn't feel just a tiny bit off.
A gorgeous piece of work, that deserves hanging. well done

| Really beautiful capture, Rosemary, I hope you do keep trying for more "harmonic convergences" like this one. |

| This should have done much better, imo. I love the colors, and I agree with MaryO--there's a dreamlike quality about it! |

| Beautiful colors! I love the way the 2nd one is pretty much in the background. Very sharp details exactly where you want them. |

| Most don't realize how hard it is to photograph hummingbirds... Well done. |

| I feel rather ambiguous about this image - it has a lot going for it in terms of overall impact - technically, it's about as good as you can do with fauna like this and the colors are nicely done - there's just a feeling of being "incomplete" if you will - I can't put my finger on why and this is the third time I've looked at it. And it has a certain esthetic that is pleasing to the eye - I just wish I could peg it for sure. In any case, well done. |

| Your 'brids' are beautifully shot! *grin* So interesting... almost like a planned shot with the side and rear on display. Well captured. (not voting) |
