    Wow, beautiful set Glenn! The birds are beautiful and the backgrounds aren't too shabby either! I really like #3 (Doing it the hard way!) It's not as sharp and could use more room on the bottom, but I love the pose! The hummingbird moth shot is super! Looks like you had a pretty good day. :D

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Susan! Those are my very gripes with #3. When I am feeling ambitious I may try some ps to add room and cleanup the detail around the head. I had a much better day, than last week!

    Thanks Stephen. If it wasn't for Froggy I'd still be trying to figure out what kind of moth it was.

    I agree this is a very nice series of images and you did very well with these shots. Not many in our area here. We see one or two and that is it.

    So how many species of Hummingbirds show up in Arizona? We get around 6 or 7 here that I know of!
