Beautiful colours and interesting volcanic earthy textures mixing with the sea. Great sharpness and nice presentation.

Cheers, Petru

Hello Bob,

Nice fungi! Probably Daedalea (Polyporaceae fam.) As for the beneficial side of their host, none. They are parasitic, but most of the alive trees have no problems in carying this fungi. They also grow on dead wood too, and when they choose to set for an alive tree, most of the time they choose an old one.

Cheers, Petru

Много добър портрет с едно мнение да бъде малко по-средно линията на челото, очите, носа и устата.

Hola Juan,
you captured the butterfly and its colours very well. The picture is nicely composed, the butterfly stands out clearly against the dead leaf. You selected the optimal point of view to get most parts of the butterfly in focus.
Best wishes, Peter

Снимката е много хубава,защото е контрастна с истински цветове и осветеност. Най-важното е естествена. Птичето живее там. Не е снимано като за изложба, а така както то естествено живее. Снимката сама показва къде птичето обича да живее. Браво! Още повече да се правят такива снимки е много, много трудно!
The picture is very nice because contrast, true naturale colours and naturale light. Most important- Naturale alive. The birds true life is here not in open place. The picture wasn't take like for exhibition but in real nature biotop. Picture talks itself where the bird like to be. Bravo!
More over take this kind of picture is very, very difficult!

Hello Gabriel,
I don't think that the beetle likes this kind of sports. It is no 'water-beetle', it is
- Leptinotarsa decemlineata
- family: Chrysomelidae
known to feed on potato plants. Actually, it is in danger of life.
Neverhteless ... the presentation of the beetle is very clear and sharp. Colours are very natural.
Best wishes, Peter
