Darn humming birds! Ah well I shall keep on working to attempt to get a shot as great as that one . The turtle shot is great as well, one because its a turtle & two because you get its reflection perfectly in the water that is just awesome

The hummingbird is fabulous, it is so colorful and well focused. The one I shot is dull and not pretty at all.
And I love the turtle too, the reflection is terrific. Great job on all of the photos.

These are all fantastic shots but that hummingbird takes the cake. They are so hard to capture being so fast and small. You have such great focus and clarity on this little guy. Wonderful work on all for sure.
