Lee: We get four different kinds here in the Colorado mountains but we don't get these. Mostly Rufous with some Broadtail, Black-Chinned and, our favorite, Calliopes. Sometimes there are dozens at a time at our feeders. Check back a bit in my shots are there are a few hummers.

Lee, you may also want to try capturing in RAW, and then postprocessing it (increasing exposure, contrast etc) using software supplied with the camera (or with photoshop CS - if you are lucky enough to have it). This can sometimes bring out dramatic and pleasing results and is a lot of fun to do. Sometimes the background just doesn't allow for more contrast and the perspective that the shot was taken needs to be changed completely. It all just comes with experiance and practice (we are all learning all the time :)). Keep shooting - looks like you have some nice subjects over there - and it looks like you have good potential...

Thanks for the suggerstion Bryan. The D70 is more of a computer than a camera and the learning curve is going to be longer than I expected it to be. I'll be waiting fot the hummers return to put your suggestions into practice.
I really appreciate the critique and encourage more of it.

Lee a lovely photo. You really caught the motion of his wings. More contrast and exposure would have been great. Well done.
