Stunning capture!!!
It really is difficult to chose in which category this image fits best...if it were an option, i would probably say ecosystem :)
Excellent POV and DOF, vert nice natural BG and very good sharpness.

Hi Paul,
Excellent shot of this little community gathering, well seen and captured. A great note too, a nice thought. Nice camera work, no exif info so I don't know what aperture you used but the DOF fall-off is visible behind the log, just perfect. Great detail, a lovely shot. Nice to see what's going on on the other side of the world.
Cheers,
Adrian

A beautiful moment well captured Paul, the 200-400 seems to work well, its top of my wish list for a lens good to see one in action, the control of the DOF is spot on the BG is just nicely OOF TFS.
We do seem to be developing into a multi-cultural ,multi-linqual society here on TN which is great, what pleases me most is more people are posting in their own languages I know it means some of us have to work a little harder to understand some of the note and critques but for the health of the site I think it is worth it and i can now read phrases in many different lanuages ;0))) TFS yours Robert

Bonjour Paul,

Félicitations pour cette photo, c'est vraiment un moment privilégié dont vous avez été témoin, voir unique. Votre réflexion au sujet du mandat de TN est absolument à propos, tout comme le titre que vous avez choisi. La photo est selon moi réussie à tous les niveaux. Toutefois, 2 questions demeurent : où la photo a t’elle été prise et qu’est devenu le papillon? Merci encore pour cette image forte de sens. (J’espère que le traducteur fera bien le travail…)

Hi Paul,
Now that is just precious!
How did you stage that? Hahaha...
That is really a special moment! I just love the butterfly on the turtle's nose.
And the bird is so special. What kind is it?
I think your shot would make a great logo for TN!
Really a great moment well caught! Congratulations. ; )

Hi Paul

Excellent shot and great timing, I would have been shaking too much to capture it. I wonder if there was a fish on its way to the meeting too.

Amazing shot, Paul!
I'm speechless... This picture couldn't be taken any better. If there was one perfect POV to chose, this was it. The composition is just fantastic. Excellent choice of aperture (too small - no background blur, too large - not enough DOF for both subjects). Well managed exposure. Impressive! Congratulations,
Mark

Hello Paul
LOL....what a super shot. I couldn't photograph a butterfly if I tried.... and here you captured a great shot of a butterfly sitting on a turtles nose...to funny. Wonderful composition and the lighting is pleasantly soft. Wonderful colours and detail. TFS Janice
