I love all of them expecially the first one Randy...the clarity, composition, the red flower she is drinking from...everything there is just perfect. What a nice tribute to a pretty bird.

thanks everyone

what I find most interesting about these is most are shot with a D4 + 500/4 + 1.7tc and at least one is shot with a D7100 + 80-400AFS. I find it hard to tell which is which. So 850mm on a 16mp body vs 600mm (after the crop factor) on a 24mp body

Gorgeous shots and excellent work. Love the colours and sharp details. Sure would love to get to see these one day. First shot is excellent, my favourite though would be the last shot. The greens and aqua are beautiful, a wonderful pose. Second one is another true beauty. Jan's favourite is the first one and then I explained how tiny these are, she is amazed.

All the best and stunning shots !!

Danny.
