Hello Anna,
Beautiful shot of this magnificent animal. Focus is spot on while the foreground grass adds a touch of reality.

Hi Pam,
Excellent capture of the Tui. The range of color on the bird and blooms is extraordinary. Nice soft BG.

Hello Steven,
I'm surprised this capture of the lioness has not generated more interest. It has an immediacy and reality that many of the more posed shots lack. Full marks for composition, timing and focus.

Greg

Hi Arun,
The lighting angle does a great job revealing the wing textures. Sharp with sufficient DOF to keep the antennae in focus. Composition is a bit centered, but it works for me if the species is unfamiliar. Thanks for sharing.

Greg

Hi Ron,
Very nice capture of the doe and faun. Focus on the eyes is spot on with nice catchlights. Hope you are enjoying the 5D2. I am strongly considering the 7D right now.

Greg

Hello Manyee,
Male Mandarins have incredible coloring and patterning. You did well to capture both with this difficult lighting. I'm glad to hear that they have at least some defense against hunting pressure, but I doubt that much can be done with respect to development pressure. Interesting note.
Regards,
Greg

Hello Zahoor,
Nice capture of the plain tiger. I like the color and nice soft BG. The composition is a bit centered for my taste, but it works overall.

Hello Jossim,
Wonderful capture of the heron in flight. Extremely fast shutter speed and sharp focus provide excellent feather details.

Hello Nelson,
Welcome to TrekNature. The meercat is in sharp focus and the background is appropriately soft. The levels seem somewhat dark to me, although the histogram showed a fairly good distribution. The composition also seems a bit centered and might be improved by panning a bit to the left. I posted a workshop to raised the levels and sharpen. Hope you like it.
Regards,
Greg
