I like three because you captured the white very well - nothing blown out, however, I like the pose in six :) I wish I could attract hummers to my yard.

I like #7 the best because the bird is against the mottled green and can been seen perfectly without anything to distract from it and then you've got the flowers to the right. So my eye is drawn first to the bird and then the flowers. Awesome images!

I love 3 4 6 &7 Yes Hard to Pick you must have been pretty patient to get those. Wonderful Job. My favorite two are 3 & 7 I even love taht little feather out of place on #7. It makes it that much more real and vivid.

Thanks Mirae! It is a challenge to track some of these birds. I'm still trying to get a very clear, sharp attack photo.
