This may be the finest set you have posted Birdie in my eyes
I guess you have given good reason to why I have a quality monitor to look at images, these are in a league of their own. You have a few that are standout '1 image posts' but you managed to keep a multi-image post amazingly strong and interesting.
You have a lovely talent to take that extra step of interpretation and ever so slightly enhance what is there, or in a good way expand on the key ingredients be it background control or accenting colors or contrasting colors, you do it so very well!
There are a few that have a few nits for me, #10 Tanager seems a bit overfished to lift the darks, #8 is a wee bit soft at the eye, #5 just doesn't balance naturally for me on lighting. With that being said, if I walked into a gallery I would own #1, #2, #6 and #12 applause:
Good eyes Birdie, good feel, good connection to the entire image!
Yes ma'am you have my vote

Karl, thank you so much for not only the most kind words, but the comments on the ones with nits. Those with the nits are the ones I struggled the most with in post and for the exact reasons you mention ! I need to work with those some more . You do have a fantastic eye .

i just can't believe it's m43 lol. But I switched about 4 years ago from an em5 and and a 100-300 panny. I never got shots like yours.
Thank you. It has taken me a bit of time to adjust to the m4/3 . It is a completely different way to shoot.

I thought I had commented on this thread days ago as I've viewed it like three or four times because the images are so nice. Realized this morning I hadn't left a comment so I'm late to the party!! Great variety of images Birdie, looks like you guys had a great time on your trip and your guide did a great job getting you some beautiful setups.
Holy crap !!! As per usual, your combination of clean backgrounds, gorgeous colors, great poses, and fascinating subject matter has put you way over the top. These are all amazing even by your standards. You've managed to raise the bar even further !
......WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Eric , much appreciated
