I believe if you try to wait till you think you have the best photo you often end up with nothing. My theory is that you get what you can first and then look to improve on it. And this is a good way to use those not so perfect photos(which seem pretty good to me).

I love your layout with the leaves and the dancing hummers! Good job on getting photos of what you can. I never get photos of anything that moves faster than I do, LOL.

Love the painterly bg and the hummers flitting about
