Feeder + repost

Supplied all the food for humming birds, natural and man made, but no takers tonight. Made it outside between rains and found our trumpet tree full.
Let me know what you think.

I like the beautiful contrasting colors and the complementary, uncluttered BG. Looks like a great set up for some beautiful HB images.

Fine textural and colour contrasts here, Bob. Love the basic symmetry of the composition, with the two flowers jauntily arranged at the sides. Minor nit is the blue flower bottom L, which distracts my eye a little, but otherwise perfect for me.

Nice deviation from the usual Flora shots, Bob

. The feeder is really cool with its fine textures and I like how the flowers frame it so nicely. The purple blob at the bottom left perhaps can go.

Bob:
A still life in natural surrounding

The color, shape and texture of the feeder dominates the image and nicely framed by the flowers on either side. The blue in the lower part is distracting.

Lovely tones and colors. Seems to me a bit unballance top to bottom because of the space on bottom, but tight on top. Maybe it's that blue flower that is bothering me, too -- not sure.
