Wow, Great action shot !! You captured the action just before the impact, with the raven in full extension.

Excellent timing, and good exposure too. We can see both the details on the white plumage of the vulture and the black coat of the raven.

Magnificent colors !

This shot is excellent. Great sharpness, and very good composition with the 2 tones from the corals and ocean, and those fishes here and there.

I think this one deserves a lot more points :)

Bonjour Pat,

une bien belle photo de ce vanneau ! Oiseau commun qu'on voit finalement assez rarement sur TN mais qui merite bien sa place ici. Belles couleurs vives et beau reflet. J'imagine que tu n'as pu t'approcher davantage pour avoir un meilleur champ de vision, vu le regard mefiant qu'il te jette.

Dans l'attente de voir une photo de ce bel oiseau en vol,
Amicalement,
Pascal.

Hi Mario,

another great heron shot on TN. The subject is well positionned, perfectly in focus and well exposed.

I think the shot is well improved by all those artefacts from the swamp (branch, plants...), plus the soft blurry background. In a couple of words : excellent composition.

Hi Pankaj,

This mantis is realy worth posting. I especially like the tones, green on the black background. Nothing disturbs the subject.

Did you do any post-treatment or did you get the shot as is ? In any case, great job !

Pascal.

Hello Jose,

I was visiting a couple of galleries when this shot caught my eye. I don't know how big the beast is, but it really looks impressive here !

Good sharpness and focus on the head. And what colors I like the soft ambient light and warm background color.

Pascal.

Very interesting topic and view.

But are you going to keep this "castle" next to your home ? This can be a nuisance, especially if you start gardening !

Bonjour Claude,

quel magnifique animal, tu as bien de la chance d'avoir un pareil habitant dans ton jardin!

Les couleurs sont eclatantes sous cette lumiere assez douce, et l'image est parfaitement nette. N'hesite a poster toute une serie si tu recois encore sa visite ;)

Pascal.

Very cute guy (or girl ^^) !

I hope this little one will be able to make it for a couple more days... until he is able to fly !

Nice capture, you were able to get close without frightening it. Check out if he is still there tomorrow :p

TFS !

Hello !
this inflight shot is just perfect... contrast and sharpness of course, but above all you did not loose any detail under those wings thanks to good exposure ! which is not easy whith a black and white bird ^^
TFS !
