I couldn't see the hummingbird even when I enlarged the picture. I thought it was a dead leaf. Oops.

From a photo quality perspective (which I assume they look at in addition to subject of photo) the hummingbird is also terrific, but I like the deer better.The misty morning photo is wonderful.

I like the close-ups, so if you fiddled with the hummingbird so we could see it fluttering...that would be a great pic.

It looks like he's suspended in mid-air! I wonder if you could crop it in a little to make him (her?) more the focus, without losing clarity/sharpness and still print for 8x10. They are all lovely though, and I'm sure whatever you pick will get lots of ooohs and aaahs. :-) Good luck!Leah St. Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004006100786260893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-83029078141539659252017-03-15T05:59:47.063-04:002017-03-15T05:59:47.063-04:00All the photos are fabulous...which makes it a &qu...All the photos are fabulous...which makes it a "challenge" to choose.
