Hi Niek,
Long time no communicate! I really love HDR photography. It just really depends on how you process it to meet your taste. Beautifully photo realistic such as this, or garishly cartoonish as you see very often. I love the the vertical composition to make a dramatic foreground with the flowers. Great detail in the shadows! Colors are really beautiful in this. A great sense of depth. Very well done!

Talked to Scott Hale yesterday and he said you had asked about me. I really miss all of the great people I have met over the years on TN and TL. I have just been so busy as a police administrator and running my photography business that I can not keep up. I won't post if I do not take the time to give back and properly critique and help. I still reguarly keep in touch with Howard. (Marhowie)

My photgraphy business is slowly growing despite the fact that I do not devote enough time to it. Have recently sold large prints for commercial jobs to our local hospital here and at the Ronald McDonald House at St. Louis Cardinal Glennon Hospital. I have done quite a few art shows and sell prints there and off my web site. I could make good money if I would do portraits and weddings but then that would be work. I will try to drop by more often to check in. Heck I may post one!
Take care my friend,
Scott

Hi Vicma,
Excellent collage of photos on the European Tree Frog. You caught them in full croak here with the puffed up throats. Great supportive notes. Well done

Hi Jane,
A really nice shot on this Greater Roadrunner. I love how the back lighting shows the plumage and hairs. Nice detail. He looks great against the blue sky.

Hi Karan,
All of the shots look really great. Nice sharp detail, beautiful color saturation, and a very high cutness factor. Very wel done here.

Hi Loot,
An excellent shot on this mom and her young. The light here looks really great. Colors and detail are superb. I can understand how you feel about such an amazing place. I would love to visit there someday. I get that way when I spend time at the wildlife refuge in Florida. I would love to move up to a big game National Park.

Scott

Hi Tom,
Nice job with the difficult exposure. You maintained great color and detail in the bright white plumage. I like your choice of framing and composition. Nice work here.
Scott
