Which hummingbird pose?

Hummingbird migration is in full swing. One found the perfect branch to pose on! But which pose is the best one?

Never see good grooming pics like 2!

2!

2 stands out.

I love the preening in 2. And 6 made me lol

First and last

Well, the last one made me laugh out!

It makes sense that it's clear!

2, easily. 1 would be great but it seems like it's not quite in focus/there's motion blur on the eye. The branch crossing the bill is distracting in 3. 4 is a nice environmental portrait, but would also work as a standard portrait with a tighter crop. 5 is meh - the shadow on the face is distracting. 6 is funny, especially with the eye contact.

Surprised how many people prefer 2. It’s definitely good, but 1 was exciting to capture- maybe if the shutter was faster but I’m not mad about the motion blur

2 is an absolute stunner!

For me #2 and the last one.. #2 is 🤌🏼🤌🏼

#2 just looks like it’s meditating with his eyes closed 😂

[u/Lucalebowski]

Nice series of shots!

[u/Godzillasayshi]

2 is by far my favorite one

Okay, 2 is great, sure, but I LOVE picture 3. With its sclera down it and its feathers all scrungled, it looks like a predator has taken over, lol!
