Hi Patrick,
The processing is now up to the quality of the image IMHO.
Nice job!

Was worth the work and this is a very nice look at the hummer-- really like the two-tone background

Hi Patrick: The reworked image isn't really doing it for my taste. It's starting to look overprocessed. A bit too bright where I wouldn't expect it to be like the dark part of the gorget. The general appearance of the bird is that it was a trifle soft in the original capture and it's being saved it post processing. I understand the desire to do so, because it's a really nice composition and pose with a great bg, but personally I think I'd head for the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary and take some more hummer pictures instead of spending more time on the computer.

I missed the original. To me it looks pretty good. A tad soft that has been sharpened post..but nothing looks over cooked to me.
