Hi Les, Good capture of this beautiful coloured bird. The flowers add a lot to the composition. TFS. Murray

Hi Pierre, Good well coloured photograph of this delightful bird. One of my favorites in the garden and very difficult to photograph as they hop around so quickly. Good work. TFS. Murray

Hi Jacqueline, This is one of my favorite wild-life they are supposedly good at eating aphids, so reduce chemical usage. Very good macro and the clarity and colour are 100% TFS, Murray.

Hi Alexei, If the animal world has clowns or film stars, this has to be in one of those groups! Those pink cheeks and fancy hair makes this a wonderful nature photo. Beautifully clear. Good to see in your gallery. Shallow DOF makes the subject really stand out from the background well. TFS. Murray.

Few more birds from Sydney here if you have a moment:

Hi Pierre, Very good photo with shallow DOF effect. Unsure of the species but sitting on a flowering gorse bush. Good colours. I think the subject is a little too central. TFS. Murray.

Hi Loot, An unusual and most entrancing shot of the yarning lion. It shows just how long those incisor teeth are as well as how large the mouth can open, easily large enough to go around the throut of it's prey. Good clarity and colours. TFS. Murray.

Hi Achim, You are generous to show us this untainted beach on Galapagos Island, somewhere very special in this world. The curce of the beach and the tall sharp, unusual spire are good to see on TN. The split between sand and water works well. TFS, Murray.

Hi Pierre, Looks like a very good place to walk for nature photos. This is good and clear with suitable colours. The 80-400mm seems to be a very good lens for birds, one of life's pleasure to photograph. TFS. Murray.

Hi Pierre, Good to see such an animal, which we tend to think of the mink coat, rather than the real animal which produces it. An unusual chance to see such an animal on TN. TFS. Murray.

Hi Mikolaj, A good beachscape with interesting elements. Like a beach without people. The sand looks particularly good and clear with realistic colours and texture. The Baltic Sea is well known but i haven't seen it like this before. TFS. Murray.
