Hummingbirds - more images with FA* 300/2.8

Another set of images from that overcast, windy day. This time I did some selective exposure tweaks and ran Noise Ninja with Unsharp Mask of 114% @ 0.9 pixels. No cropping in the first image, minimal in the second image. Taken at the MFD of 6 feet. I wanted to have them at the level that I would give to my lab if I would want print them at 16 x 20 or larger.

Taken with K10D + FA* 300/2.8 + Tamron 1.4x AF TC = 420mm. All images at F/6.3, 1/100 sec, ISO 640, AV mode, EV -0.3...
