Wow! What an amazingly clear shot. High quality colour and sharp detail. Expertly done and well presented. Happy New Year! Best wishes, Vicky

Hi Sue,
He's very cute, and delightfully placed. I had the same kind of visit last year in my garden and also made the most of it with my camera. They do like to pose! I also like the background...he looks like he's in his natural habitat. Good clarity and colour in the plumage too. Great shot. Best wishes, Vicky

Hi Walter,
Welcome here, with a great shot to start you off. Colours, compo and timing are excellent. Tech details would have been useful, like shutter speed and aperture used. It would also be nice to know about your camera and lens. It's a super pic and it couldn't have been easy to capture it with such clarity. Well done. Best wishes, Vicky

Hi Stephen,
Beautiful strong colours and a wonderful composition. It's really sharp against a suitably blurry background...makes him stand out even more. I like the way the frame incorporates the colours in the picture. Very effective and nicely presented. Well done. Best wishes, Vicky

Hi Stephen,
This is a wonderful seascape of outstanding quality. The rich colours and excellent composition are just stunning. Very good use of the filters...you are certainly showing us Ireland at it's best. If I could ever take a shot this good with MY 350D, I think I would die happy! Well done. Best wishes, Vicky

Hi Mark,
Excellent portrait of this Leopard. Very sharp and the colours are strong. You would never know it was taken through glass and your preparations beforehand have certainly worked well. Nice, smooth, uncluttered background, and I like the way it is almost the same colour as him! I also like the tight cropping. Good frame to finish it off. Best wishes, Vicky

Hi Nadir,
Extremely well taken clear shot and very nicely presented. I like the smooth background and the way the insect is shown in sharp detail against it. The sparkly light on the wings is beautiful. Very well captured. (A note would have been good to tell us something about it). Best wishes, Vicky

Hi Elroyie,
Incredible shot...it may be "just a Roller" to you, but we don't see this bird at all in the UK (I think! I may be wrong). Beautifully sharp detail and the varying green colour is amazing. The smooth brown background shows him off at his best. Well worth waiting for. Best wishes, Vicky

Hi Paul,
Have spent the last two year's holidays exploring Dartmoor. It's like a drug, once you've been there, you can't stay away...Great shot of this tor, especially now, when the UK is sweltering in record temperatures. Nice pastel colours under a dreamy sky. Good PoV and mood. The frost makes it look even more desolate.
Oh, and Pieter? Believe me, you won't be disappointed.
Best wishes, Vicky

Hello Heinz,
I've never seen a moth like this before! The tail looks like a shrivelled up flower! It's an amazing looking species and you have shown it well here. Colours are lovely. Well framed too. TFS. Best wishes, Vicky
