Hello Ram,
Fine dorsal view of a grasshopper nymph: super sharp and set in a pleasing leafy composition. The reflection from the flash is probably a bit too harsh, but this is sometimes the result of sharpening at the pp stage.
Anyway, it is a fine post.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Amazing giraffe, with incredible colours and texture. And very good notes about subspecies of giraffe. Very good photo. Bravo.
Best regards and TFS, Cezar T.

Nice close-up.
Some overexposed areas on the back. Since the bird was capture, the best is to bring it in the shade to avoid direct sun at create nicer details.

Superb capture of tofsvipan, the sharpness and plumage detail being first rate and the colour saturation at its best. Excellent BG and compo.

Svårt att fota när man hotas av häftiga skurar hela tiden!

Słońce potrafi pięknie zagrać...to miejsce nie byłoby tak magiczne gdyby nie to "wyróżnione" drzewo...

Fajnie wypatrzone...ale szkoda że przeszło niezauważone na TN...bardzo dobra ostrość świetna głębia...no i te grzyby jak koronki...
podoba mi się
pozdrawiam

Hello Rick,
fine capture of the dangerous end of a Prairie Rattler. You must have been quite close to take this sharp and detailed shot.
Nice lighting and comp.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan
