Hi Manyee,

what a nice plant! Colours are very nicely captured, might be a bit too dark though. Well composed and framed. great job,
tfs, Betty

Wow Alan,

amazing subject. However, in terms of capturing the image I would've chosen another, more englobing, POV.
tfs, Betty

Hi Ania,

What a lovely fresh crisp image. The DOF is perfect and suits the chosen POV.
TFS,Betty

Hi Jay,
I can indeed see this is not quite the same knapweed I found in Lebanon; just goes to show how external pressures affect the ecosystem.
You chose an interesting POV and composition here that give the picture a "hypnotic" property: all we can look at are the pink petals and the fresh crisp colours.
well done, TFS,
Betty

Non seulement il n'est pas surpris de te voir Marc mais en plus il est coquin et fait un petit clin d'oeil à la caméra :) photo "complète", trés bon travail!
Betty

Salut Marc, quelle chance d'avoir pu approcher cet animal sans qu'il ne se sente menacé, il ne semble même pas s'aperçevoir de ta présence, en le voyant dormir comme ça on risquerait de le confondre avec nos petits chats (dont il ne ferait qu'une bouchée sans doute).
C'est vrai que la mise au point n'est pas idéale mais les couleurs et la luminosité sont bien réussies et le tout est globalement bien rendu. Tu pourrais essayer de rogner un peu l'herbe du haut et du bas (cadrer plus en longueur) ça ferait peut-être plus ressortir le lynx dans la compo et "tromperait" un peu l'oeil vis à vis de la mise au point?

Hi Marton, I knew some snakes ate fish but I had never actually seen one, it's a novel image for me. The photo in itself could stand some improvement, for instance a non-centered composition and better depth of focus. A closer zoom could be nice but only if you have the equipement obviously. An interesting first post, welcome to TN! Betty

Hi Cacco, this is a lovely shot (or maybe I'm biased because the subject is soo cute?), well framed and good off-centered composition, sharp image; perhaps DOF could've been improved to soften more the ground surrounding the bird. Well done, TFS, Betty

Hi Mattias, DOF is very good giving a good BG, smart choice of off-centered compo and very nice colours, really a well rounded image! very well done! Betty

Hi Ori, I just love the flamboyant, it's one thing that I really miss in Paris. When I was growing up in Egypt we used to take the sepals (of the tree species) and stick them on our nails like witch nails. The common name suits this flower very well, very well exposed image, the colours are truer than life, TFS, Betty
