I gave this one an 8 but would have probably given it a 10 if it did not appear so over sharpened, it is such a great capture and getting 2 of these guys over a flower is just awesome. Great shot

Very well executed (and not a bird feeder in sight!).

Great stuff.

How do you determine how long a shutter release you need for these long exposures? Just amazing and so beautiful.

Besides, I'm sure it was darn difficult to get that one! So, you can crop out a feeder and get a high score but if you clone out that feeder you get DQed - doesn't seem right some how. :-( Regardless, excellent image and excellent PP!

Good point! and we know there is no outdoor flower in winter, and we know the only method is the feeder, and we know the feeder has been the traditional method for years. The two editing methods (crop and clone out) should have exactly the same emotional impact on the matter of "easy" or "difficult". Thank you so much for the comment!
