This is really nice author!

Great capture! I just got two feeders for christmas so next summer I'm all over these birds like white on rice! LOL

amazing shot!

great catch.

Simply wonderful!
Do you know it's possilble to hear the wings flapping? It sounds like bees flying.

Thanks for the comment, erikuri. Yes, when we sit on our deck, and three or four show up, it's very noticeable (and cool).

the movement of the wings is incredible! I love this shot! Chapeau!

Fabulous piece author...well done

Hmm, now theres not even a fortune just a request to ask someone else. Next thing you know they'll be telling us to consult the magic 8 ball.

Nice, but I would have liked a little more DOF

I think the def is good but maybe bring up the contrast a little will make the focus more on the fortune. Oh there's also this one small white speck above the fortune. Healing brush would be the easiest fix. Overall, unique entry and great DOF. GL!

thanks for your comments and advice guys...I have soooo much to learn...such as "healing brush"? I will have to look that one up.

Are you using photoshop to post edit your entries? It's a tool in Ps we are allowed to use for photography. There's actually quite a few edit tools we are allowed:
