What a great shot of a Stonechat (I love a Stonechat) in full song perched on some Rosebay Willow-herb, the image is really nice and sharp where it needs to be with a lovey defocused background.

Well done in getting 3rd place.

This image of a humming bird with the colourful flowers certainly fits the brief that's why i was compelled to place it in my top ten.

Your choose of f/6.3 aperture just gives you enough detail in the humming bird seating on the purple flower with the red flower in focus to his left and all the other flowers falling nicely out of focus.

Well done in getting 8th place.

What a great use of depth of field with this brightly coloured Sunflower and the bird which looks like it was just flying off the Sunflower.

Your focusing had to be spot on to get the bird nice and sharp " which it is" ( well done).

You caught the bird well flying towards you in mid flight too it also looks like it is staring at you which gives the viewer a nice connection with the image. the blue of the bird and the yellow of the Sunflower really jump out at you.

Well done in getting 1st place.

The bright yellow flowers with the Twite perched on them and background colours really jump out at you (well done) , I like the way you composed the image with the Twite high in the frame and to the right which show the common Gorse of really well ( i think that's the name of the shrub) , my only criticism is that the image is a little noisy but I appreciate that you probably had no choice in the ISO you were using.

Well done in getting 4th place.

You must have used a fast shutter speed to capture this bird in flight every part of the bird is frozen in time ( well done) with a nice bright red flower on the stem too, looks like you was using a fast lens or the background was a long way away from the bird judging by the defocused background which nicely show the bird and flowers off, i love the colours in the background too ( nice job) I also like that the bird has a catch light in his eye as well.

Well done in getting 2nd place.

I like the way you interpreted my brief shooting through some brightly coloured flowers. The focusing is on the bird surrounded by the out of focus flowers really works well. ( well done).

Well done in getting a highly commended.
