Great detail in the bird. I like the tongue sticking out. Well executed image.

Nice pose captured with the multi-flash setup. Lighting these is always a challenge. I believe these images are most successful when the light looks like daylight with lighter areas and shadowed areas. The flower on the right feels pretty tight. I would definitely clone out 3 of the 4 catchlights in the eye.

Real nice position and again, I like the flowers showing on the side. Maybe it's the bright flowers making the hummer look a bit dull, but I feel like the hummer could use a little boost in saturation. Sharon
