Hi Ken

A magnificent shot of this female Roseate Skimmer and great to see how you applied the advice you recently received on macro photography. That's the way to go my friend. What really makes it praiseworthy (IMHO) is because so many times we see after people received good advice how it's just thrown in the water and never applied. The aperture went smaller for a better DOF, the shutter speed unfortunately came down due to the greater need for light, and although you had to counter this with a much higher ISO setting you still managed to contain or eradicate any signs of noise. Much improved PP work.

The composition is superb with the twig running through the angle at the bottom right hand corner and the insect filling the space with even enough free space in front of it. The colours are rich and well defined, the details are excellent and sharp, the BG is magic, and the exposure management was spot-on.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Chi

Wow, long time no see my friend. It is great to have the pleasure of seeing a posting from you again and as always been the case, not too shabby either. It seems like you are becoming a real "Oustraylien" by swanking with this lovely Roo (chuckle). What was it doing? Seems like it's uttering a primordial scream.

I just love this profiled portrait of the Eastern Grey. The backlighting has created a lovely play of light around the edges of the marsupial and similarly it shows some interesting detail in those forward pointing teeth. The details are excellent and the dark BG makes the animal stand out very well. The colours are well defined and the exposure was perfect.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot
