Really nice set
but I just can't get into the feeders getting into the picture , I do know you have to have something that attracts the Humming birds and I know not everyone can have the flowers to attract them, but the photographer can take steps to exclude the feeders.

I understand what you are saying. But, as you mentioned we have no flowering plants anywhere near, so I use what I have available.

I like to see their behavior in how they approach, hover, and depart the feeder and how they maneuver while on the feeder. The feeder also provides a sense of proportion and size of the bird.

Also, being a pilot myself, the constant adjustments and movement of their wings and tail around the feeder are fascinating to me.

Nice set. Hummers are always fascinating, and we have few in our neighborhood (I had to travel to visit friends in MD to capture good shots).

In the last pic, some highlight reduction could improve the picture. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks. And I think you are correct on that last image. The white throat on that last one is blown out somewhat.

Thanks again. I always welcome advice in that area. Post-processing is not my strong point.

Generative Fill and Content Aware Fill that's found in Photoshop beta. It should be relatively easy to remove the feeder and leave no trace
