Hi Micheal still not sure that this is not a cut and paste job which is why it was reportrd 1st time it was posted. the fox looks too small in comparision to the fallen leaves and other plants growing in the background.
let me know if I am wrong yours Robert

Hi albert, looks like what I used to call Stapelia variegata ,obviusly they seemed to have changes the family etc but I hope this will be of some help in yours search.

Hi Gary, intresting capture,
the duck is very definatly a Muscovy, I do not have my diffinative book on wild ducks to hand, but if I rember correctly the true species ouccours up through central America and up into California, so it is possible that it is a wild one..
What helps its case is the crest and the slimness of the general build of this duck. the domesticated one is generally of a heavier build having been selected for meat production, and usually more colourful.
If it is a true Muscovy then if I rember right this is possibly only the second one posted to TN, and believe me I have looked at alot of them in my capasity as moderator to TN since we started the site.
if I was to make a slight comment on the image it would be to say the beak could do with some of the highlights there darkening back a fraction, possibly with the burn tool set to 0% hardness (softest edge possible) and tohighlights and 9% strenght.
Thank you for sharing yours Robert

Hi Kalyan,
Very intresting images, I know the TOS for the site has been changed recently, to say that images of animals in zoo should not contain images of their cage, "why the change I dont know" but your image and short note make a very valide point about animals in cages. Thank you for posting it and I will not be removing it as has been requested.

ps. a slightly longer note about the image and what happened to the unfortunate Tiger (thank you for sharing

Hi Akif,
Congratulations on this capture, I know how hard this is to capture as they do not stop moving in thier brief inflight union.
A brief desription of how you made the capture added to the note would be very usful to a lot of people.
Welldone Thank You for sharing

Hi Matt glad to see you managed to get this image posted, what was the solution in the end?
the details in the inficus area are stunning as are the vibrant colours.
getting the tail sharply into focus would of made the image perfect the use of a higher F. stop say around F11 or even F16, I find it worth shooting such images at all these settings if you get the time to do so the pick the shot you perfer when you get it up on the big screen of your comp.
TFS hope your problems are over, yours Robert

Hi Gloria, good to see a post from you, they look a little like carp, as they are found all across the far east as well as europe but they could be any species as fish tend to be opertunist and free feeds like this produce hughe fish. a lake local to us has people who come to feed the ducks and swans but the carp have learnt to feed off the floating crusts and I have never seen so many fish over 30lbs weight at any one time well over 30 of them.

Hi Geof , well captured the very well known domestic Duck the Muscovy which has its wild ancestors in central America, half a world away.
sorry for the bad news
yours Robert

Welcome to TN Rebecca, Intresting 1st post, while it is not an Orchid I can understand why you might think so from the helmet shape of the flower it is infact the very invasive weed Himalayan balsam (Impatiens glandulifera) its presence in this southern German river valley means you have lost a lot of native wild life both plant and animal to its rampant growth.
Good clear image shows both flower and seed well, a minor thought would be to include all the flower in the top right side, it would give the image a better visual balance.
TFS (Thank You for Sharing) yours Robert

Hello Josep, looks very much like a canna lilly, type the name into a search engine and compare the result.
Unfortunatly this is classed on TN as a domesticated plant and would normally have just been removed, but as you asked for an identification I thought I would try and answer your question, but this does still mean that the image needs to be removed from TN, maybe you could repost it on TL which has an open posting policy.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask either direct or though the forum.
