Hello Carlos,
wonderful capture. I remembered how fast these birds can fly near the cliffs. Well exposed against the milky(?)sky.
cheers , Jacob

Hi Selen

This is a stunning shot of the Sally Lightfoot. The eyes are exceptional as is the composition. The colours and focus are exceptional.

Amazing bird, Pam.
That blue patch around the eye is truly stunning.
Birds are just so incredible.
We must see hundreds of species of birds here on TN,
but everyday we still get to see new species.
A great POV.
Just love the colors and markings.
TFS. : )

Hi Manyee,
looks like this handsome fellow can use some gel or wax in it's feathers. Bit of a fluffy feather dew...;-)
Nice portrait. Regards JAcob

Hi Tom

An amazing coincidence to get two such rare birds in the same shot.

Wow satish,
another great image of yours. This plover is really well captured, just in the strechting moment.
Very nice image, Regards, Jacob

A very good exposure on this beautiful beetle, Fernando.
You did a great job bringing out the iridescence.
The details are very sharp too.
Too bad the tip of one of the hind legs got cut off.
Sometimes I hold the camera at a 45 degree angle,
in order to catch the subject at a diagonal,
to make it fit better.
TFS. : )

Muy buenas D. Carlos
La verdad es que empiezo a tener envidia de tu viajecillo a las Escocias...... aprovechaste fenomenalmente el tiempo. Una captura explendorosa de este pajarillo tan bonito y del que pocas veces lo vemos en vuelo. Sin que sea una pega creo tiene algo de ruido la foto y a iso 400 pero no habían mejorado los de Nikon en esta cámara lo del ruído. O en la D70 debía de ser como tres veces más.....
La pase por el neat image y se reduce bastante..
Con ruído o sin ruido (le pones tono ranchera, por lo de con dinero o sin dinero)ya me gustaría tenerlos asi de bien.
Un abrazo
