Hello Jose,
I think you captured the most beautiful expression that I ever see in a so great a feline. So tender and sharp, it is easy to forget that is some hundreds kgs of predator...
Delightful.

Hi Irishues.
Your picture is simply perfect as well as the captured scene and moment. Everything is very good at your shot excluding cropping. It is better to leave more space at the left (on the glance direction). POV and DOF, details and sharpness, colours and exposure are excellent. My best wishes and TFS.
Alexei.

Bonjour Laurent,
Fantastic sharp shot with unusual frontal POV of the female C. splendens. The flash and tripod really allowed a great sharpness and DOF, though flash sometimes distorts the colours, as maybe here.
Great shot!
TFS,
Salut,

Your first post after your trip to North East is an indicator of a string of super images to follow, Vishal.
This image re-affirms my faith in Nikon D200 which I invested into recently :-).
This is a masterpiece of a picture of a Longhorn Beetle. The focus is fabulous, resulting into a sharp and clean image with super fine details and truly natural yet vivid colours.
Needless to say, I am counting days to be back in India with my new equipment :-)!
TFS.

Hi Marcin.
Your shot is perfect without any doubts. The great portrait od duck and outstanding BG. Water, its colour tones, small waves and shadows are amazing. Reproduction of the duck is so excellent. Image is perfectly sharpened, detailed, illuminated and composed. My compliments and TFS.

Hi Janice,
Wow! I never knew spores formed on the back of ferns. I too also like the form of the ferns but then something about that green really draws the viewer in. I really like the newly formed curly ferns as they unroll and stretch out. A very nice image showing the later stage of a ferns cycle. :)_
