Wow, very nice shot. In B&W it looks like it could be a shot from an Alfred Hitchcock movie.

Pretty amazing detail and I like his pose with his face stuck right in the bloom.

Awesome detail on the bug and great DOF and color. I would clone out that one in-focus protrusion on the left, but that's a nit.

I am *so* jealous!!! That is one gorgeous bird and you captured him beautifully. I might crop tighter on top (you've got the detail for it) but that's a nit. Just lovely.

Looks like a doozy.

Reaching out

Lots of spooky potential in this scene. I like the lightning, the light spilling from the barn door and the white fence. Not so fond of the sidewalk and lights and such off to the right. I think I would crop much tighter and play with contrast and dodging and burning to really play up the idea of something in that barn responding to the lightning, with the fence as a leading line. Just for fun :-)

The Tiny Tyrant King

And he's looking at you! I never cease to be amazed by Hummingbird shots, and this is a particularly good one in color and composition. I suspect I would have played with toning down the red in the feeder to better match the bird's head, but then I don't always know when to leave well enough alone ;-)

Shade

I used to have some of these (Checkered or Snakeshead Frittilary) but I think the dogs killed them. Like the DOF; the green is a tad oversaturated on my monitor.
