Without much BS - just a great shot. You seem to know what photography is about. I don't post here, but decided to take a peek and the shot that happens to be first one I see is a piece of very good work. Congrats and keep enjoying photography!

Hello David!
Welcome to TN. Excellent shot of the little birdie. Sharp, well exposed and tightly cropped. And, with all due respect to Rufous03, more DOF could have compromised the background blur and I don't think it would have been right in this case.

Hi Shir!
After taking a look at your gallery this image caught my immediate attention. What I like perhaps the most is the perfect exposure showing wonderful detail in the snow. Excellent composition proves how breaking the rule of the thirds by placing the horizon in the middle works not only in reflection shots. Beautiful golden tones. About the only thing I'm not crazy about is the fact that the sun is not circular, but there's nothing you could do about that other than trying to fix it in the photoshop. Great picture, congratulations!

Hello Behrad!
Very interesting shot. Nice pose of the dragonfly, good POV, non-distracting blurry background. Even in spite of the wind there's enough good detail in the shot. Congratulations,
Mark

Hola Jose Luis!
Que bien se ven todos los detalles de la zonas oscuras y blancas del insecto! Pudiendo ver con tanta claridad una macro tomada con la lente que usaste me hace pensar en serio en comprarla en lugar de la Tamron 180mm que uso yo. Aunque es la persona que importa mas que las herramientas... Enhorabuena y un saludo,
Mark

Hello Christian!
Excellent shot here. It's not all that easy to tell that the mountain in the background is clearly higher than the one in the foreground, so having one of them covered with green vegetation and the other one with snow makes for a really splendid view. Very good composition and framing. Congratulations,
Mark

Hola Felipe!
Thanks to very low POV this shot gives unusual view of this... tasty looking mushroom (I can't stop thinking about that combination with cream and parsley that Sabine mentioned). Excellent use of flash. Enhorabuena y saludos,
Mark

Hello Peter!
Excellent shot. Not much besides the greens colorwise, yet the subject very clearly standing out against the blurred background. Interesting pose of the caterpillar, very sharp detail and good POV contribute to impecability of this image. Congratulations,
Mark
