75 Oct 18 Reply If you go to the gallery list at bearwoods...you will see a Tamron 18-400 one. Those images real nice. Oct 23rd
75 Oct 18 Comment Ed, I'm not familiar with that lens, but I do use and like the Tamron 150-600. Here is a link to a website where photographer David Akoubian uses a lot of Tamron lenses http://www.bearwoodsphotography.com/our-gear/ Oct 23rd

75 Oct 18 Reply Now that I look at it closer though, it reminds me of the apple trees in the Wizard of Oz! Oct 20th
75 Oct 18 Reply Charlie, There is no story behind the photo, I just saw the gnarly tree roots and liked the look. Oct 20th
75 Oct 18 Comment Ed,

Interesting shot. I like the crop and the look on the bee's face. The image seems a little soft to me, probably as a result of the amount of enlargement.

75 Oct 18 Comment Thom,

Great capture and exposure. It looks like he is walking on water.

I find the bird's reflection in the original interesting, unfortunately the second bird got in the way. I would have cropped the image a little different - by clipping off some empty space on the right and giving the bird a little more space on the left.

Here is my version of your edited image.

75 Oct 18 Comment Charlie,

Very nice subject and I like the way you've cropped it. Hummingbirds can be difficult to get sharp because they move so quickly.

You may want to consider increasing your ISO significantly in order to increase shutter speed and perhaps even f/stop which should help with sharpness. I have found that a shutter speed of 1/1600 +/- works pretty well. You might want to try using a flash setup if you want to freeze the wings.

I would also darken the bright green leaves.
