That's pretty funny, Lawhill.
Great action shot. : )
Those gulls can be very aggressive.
Sharp details and good composition for the scene.

Ciao Angelo,
bella foto anche se secondo me migliorabile un po' rimpicciolendo il soggetto. Non sapevo che nidificasse a Ceggia. é un posto raggiongibile facilmente?

Ciao e grazie, Emanuele

This is such a comical looking owl, Sergey.
Those little budding ears make it look very funny.
Excellent focus and light on the details.
What a fuzzy little guy.
Fantastic eyes!

Hello Alexei,
Congratulations on your first year on TN: your skills as a photographer are much appreciated by many of us on TN and we are grateful for your notes and critiques.

I find your note touching and it expresses a feeling and desire that many of us on TN share.
We need to be close to nature and photography is one way of expressing that need. It is also enriched by contacts throughout the world through TN. In this way, as you say, we are one big family. So I thank you, my friend, for expressing it.

Now to this wonderful sharp and well presented shot of a Peacock Moth: you are right, this is a Saturnia species, but not pavonia.
This is the Greater Peacock Moth, Saturnia pyri, found in Southern and Eastern Europe.

Thanks again,
With best wishes, Ivan
