Kjartan Haavik , October 02, 2004; 03:48 A.M.

Your photos are great Hector. One thing tho, I checked your photo critiques (all 1200 of them). "Good Picture,excellent Work, congratulations...6/6" seems to be a recurrent theme. Are you using some kind of software to comment on pictures automatically. Photo comments shouldn't be generic like that.

Thomas Dunkerley , October 02, 2004; 07:45 A.M.

Hector, thanks for sharing with us such a beautiful selection of hummingbird photography. Excellent material!

Excellent !!

Thanks for sharing these amazing photos !!

Jim Trombley , October 05, 2004; 06:51 P.M.

Amazed

I'm always amazed at photos of hummingbirds. They are so swift and rarely stay in one place long, the patience it takes must be great. Love your images. I've often watched these critters while at my folks place in Oregon but never have attempted to photograph them. I've heard there are some here in Alaska but have yet to see them.

Thanks for viewing my images as well. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Jim

Excepcional portfolio. No he probado nunca este tipo de fotografia, pero si he visto el trabajo de otros miembros de PhotoNet y el tuyo es sin duda uno de los mejores. Gracias por compartir.

Jesús Pizarro , November 21, 2004; 12:55 P.M.

Excepcional portfolio el tuyo, a destacar las imagenes de los Colibris que son una autentica obra maestra, mas si cabe por su dificultad tecnica de realizarlas y por la calidad que tienen.

Micah Robinson , November 21, 2004; 04:16 P.M.

O_O

You have a great eye! It's not easy to photograph Birds (they don't stay very long in one place}. So keep it up becuase it's working for you. Thank you for your rating/comment on my "Big and small" photo. -Micah

Great Job

Dear Hector, only somebody who tried to photograph hummingbirds can appreciate what you have done here, not just capturing them, but your other shots as well, great job, keep on going,

Loic Laurent , January 05, 2005; 06:46 P.M.

I'm crazy about your portfolio. All your pictures are amazing. Now I just want to return in the nature for shooting birds. Thank you very much for sharing your job.

Virgil Mlesnita , January 19, 2005; 10:32 A.M.

greeting

Just wanted to express my admiration for your bird shots, the hummingbirds before anything. I am far from being an amateur of the genre but still, I can recognize that most of them are just stunning!

Robert De Anda , January 21, 2005; 12:28 A.M.

National Geographic

Hector,

Congratulations on your portfolio. I admire your dedication and progress. Also, super-congratulations on your prize in the National Geographic Photo Contest.

I get a kick out of some of the stupid comments from other members about your work. I know for a fact that these are a result of hours of waiting for the right moment.

Keep up the great work.

Al cabo tu eres el CHE y que?

Jarrod Wolos , January 22, 2005; 12:59 A.M.

your work is honestly spectacular. 7/7 for the whole portfolio. great work.

Manoharan Duraisamy , January 24, 2005; 08:09 A.M.

Amazing and unique photographs, I love to learn from you on how to take bird pictures, expecting some comments. thanks for sharing.

J.W. Kencke , February 02, 2005; 11:59 A.M.

I noticed you'd rated one of my pictures. Thank you. You have some of the best bird images I've ever seen. Fantastic. 7/7 all the way. Take care, Hector...and keep shootin'

Toby Hicks , February 02, 2005; 02:23 P.M.

I know that adding a comment to the bottom of the comment list on your portfolio is somewhat futile but I have to do it. Your pictures are truly very good. I like the humming birds the most although "Caida libre" and "Fresh Bite!" also caught my eye as very well done. Congratulations on your work and keep it up.

Alex Shishin , February 05, 2005; 09:45 A.M.

Hector, it is nice to see a photographer of birds who knows his birds. (A lot of would-be nature photographers in Gallery do not understand anything about what they are shooting!) These images are all superb.

Pulok Pattanayak , February 09, 2005; 07:45 A.M.

Beautiful birds, Mr. Hector Brandan

You are a truly bird-lover. Excellent wildlife (birdlife!) photography.

Daniel Yan , February 09, 2005; 09:33 A.M.

Hector,

You're very professional in your approach. A fantastic birder! Hope to learn more from your works.

Hi, Hector. I love your portfolio, especially the hummingbirds! So glad you rated my photo so that I found your site. Would have loved to have gotten comments from you as it is obvious you really know what you're doing. If you have the time to look over my (very amateur) portfolio, I would greatly appreciate it! I look forward to seeing more of your work on birds! Take care, Leslie

Thanks!

Tutte Peever , April 11, 2005; 09:50 P.M.

A most impressive portfolio.

Jon Thornton , April 12, 2005; 06:26 A.M.

Superb bird shots. Not only are your bird photos sharp and colourful, but most of them contain the primary ingredient missing from many lesser bird photos, action!

Fred Jacobs , April 15, 2005; 01:44 A.M.

Simply some of the best "bird work" I've ever seen, bravo!

Leslie Battjes , April 17, 2005; 09:34 A.M.

Hi, Hector

Just stopped by again to see what's new. Your "other birds" folder is really nice. I especially like the birdbath shots...great captures! The twins are adorable, too! Keep up the great work. Leslie :~)

Arie Baba , April 20, 2005; 12:56 P.M.

I'm starting to like taking pictures of birds more and more. Seeing your work really gives this humble feeling that I still have a lot to learn. Very beautifull and inspiring work. Wish I could join you on a shoot one day.

Eugenio Cuesta , April 21, 2005; 04:04 P.M.

Me alegro encontrarte

Es una gozada visitar tu galeria. Ya veo que estas arrasando con tus fantasticas imagenes. Enhorabuena y un fuerte abrazo.

Rakesh Dhareshwar , May 11, 2005; 12:53 A.M.

u r portfolio is one of the rare ones i love coming back to....it inspires , being a bird watcher myself.Thanx

Louise Bridge , May 23, 2005; 05:34 P.M.

Although they are not in fact your absolutely best photos, I really got a kick out of the series of shots of house sparrows bathing that can be found in your "Others Birds" folder. That's the silliest thing. Those are some of my most most unfavorite birds too, those little alien invadors in bibs and tuckers. But here I am chuckling away at those pictures. Thanks.

Pedro Cruz Vera , June 02, 2005; 05:01 A.M.

GENIAL

Qiero incluir mi comentario en un pedasito de tu galeria para hacerte llegar mi felicitaciones por tan hermosa galeria, llena de colorido y tantos CLIC impresionante y darte las gracias por compartir tus magnificas fotos con nosotros, un abrazo.

I like your hummingbirds a lot .

martin forget , December 11, 2005; 08:17 P.M.

Hector

In my opinion, you have one of the best bird portfolio on PN. Select 10 let say. Yours is great by it's action shots, and "special posture" (or it's originial views). I find it motivating and comforting, finding that a nice bird folio can look nice as yours does. Also would like to thank you alot for your generous comments and ratings, and feel free to critique some that you find less "well-done". Hope that they will always be nice places on earth to do those kind of photo-sessions (like the ones that we do). Regards, Hector. Cordialement martin.

Ed Delaporte , December 13, 2005; 02:47 A.M.

Wow

So, we all gush. It is rare that so many people agree on a portfolio - but yours is outstanding. Thanks for sharing them with us - they are inspiring.

Hola Hector, hoy he podido ver por primera vez tu portfolio y no sera la ultima, valla pedazo de regalo es tu galeria para mis ojos, he quedado impresionado de tus fotos es para cualquier fotografo el zenit, esas fotos de colibris con esas poses y esa nitidez de las tomas rayan lo perfecto o lo superan en algunos casos. De tu galeria se desprende una pasion por todo lo refente a la naturaleza y lo que le rodea. De ahora en adelante te tendre en mis favoritos, para asi poder seguir aprendiendo de maestros como tu, te deseo que sigas con tu pasion y nos regales imagenes para nuestras retinas. Un fuerte abrazo Hector, de un colega de Barcelona. adeu

Hello Friend!

Well here it is another year is passing away and we are coming into the holidays. I think time starts to go faster as we get older, it was just yesterday I wished my friends Happy Holidays and here it is again the end of a year. The holiday lights are starting to be put on some of the trees here in Dallas, we were out last night and some were lighting the trees. I wish for you all a holiday season with family and friends, after all is said and done all we have is each other.

I want all of you to know just what your comments and ratings on my work means to me, your words are my motivation, my drive to discover, to learn this art that we all love, thank you for taking time and thank you for caring about my works. At the same time thank you for letting us see your world, our lives are so much the same, we all care about our families and friends and we all share the same things, maybe someday our photos will help make for a lasting world peace. May you and your family be blessed this season.

Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting

Ken

By the way, we kept an exchange student from Cordoba, Argentina.....he's like a son to us, and we will visit one day soon. Bravo on your beautiful work!
