What a beautiful and unusual bird, Paul.
The colors are really fantastic.
Great POV.
The BG is a bit grainy, something you can fix easily with Neat Image, downloadable for free from the web and used in conjunction with Photoshop Elements.
TFS. : )

Hi Mustafa
Nice picture, but it is a little bittern Ixobrychus minutus, unfortunately light conditions are not perfect.

Hi
It is defenitely a alrge falcon, could be a hybrid Saker. Anyway it is a falconers bird wearing leather and rings.

Pero bueno.... la de cosas que suceden en las viviendas de Madrid... colirrojos urbanos, jinetes.. pero la verdad es que creo que ellos tendrán sus guía-michelin para ir a comer a tu casa. Muy buena la imagen, Javier

Hello Sergio,
another magnificent macro of an insect. THe colour of the eye comes out really colourful. Also a nice blurred green background.
Regards, Jacob

Hi Tom

This shot is a little grainy on my screen, but I think it adds to the effect, which I like - it seems like a Japanese print.

Hi Paul,
Nice fellow ypu caught here. It's maybe easier in Yellowstone, but it's still a wild animal.
Nice shot
Guy

Hi Necipp

Great action shot. The mallard is really sharp and well located in the shot. Well done.
