Hello Manyee,
Congratulations on your 600th!
Though this shot shows a little chromatic aberration, perhaps due the cropping, it is a fine capture of a pair of Blue-winged Teals, birds that I have never seen in real life. Lovely lighting and comp.
Look forward to lots more from you!
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Well done Manyee, what an achievement 600 shots, way too much time on the net :)

No its not one your best, but a species I haven't seen before. And besides that, your right, we're here for the fun as well as producing the odd fantastic shot.

Congrats again, look forward to the next 600.

Amazing present to yourself and us. Richness and clearness of colours, exactness of details, expressiveness of lighting impress the imagination. Nice scene, excellent composition, perfect note. My congratulations and best wishes.

Great shot of this pair ManYee.
Perhaps not one of your best, but still very good detail and colors. I like the two side-by-side, showing the sex differences in this species.
Well done & Congrats on 600 posts!

That's a great capture of the pair of Blue-winged Teal. I'm surprised that they are second only to mallards in number. I've seen the Green-winged here in Oregon but not the blue. 600 is a lot of photos! Congratulations and thanks for sharing them all with us. All of your posts and thorough notes embody the spirit of TN and set a consistent high standard for the rest of us

Hello Maynee,
This is a very impressive number of pictures, congratulations! Thanks also for this great contribution and showing us so many different species always accompanied by interesting notes. This is a beautiful capture of those ducks I didn't know about. I remember having heard this name but I think that I never saw one. Details, composition and exposure are very good as usual. Well done!

Felicitaciones Manyee por tus 600 primeras presentaciones... no es fácil alcanzar esa cifra y tú lo has logrado gracias a tu talento y pasión.
Un agradable captura con bellos colores y contrastes, con acertada combinación entre el punto de vista captado y el encuadre que elegiste para su publicación.
Me gusta el efecto del agua alrededor de los animales, aunque creo que el punto débil de la escena es el foco algo soft, tal vez a causa de los colores de los mismos.
Mis mejores deseos... Ricardo

Congratulations Manyee for your first 600 presentations... it is not easy to reach that number and you have achieved it due to your talent and passion.
A pleasant capture with beautiful colors and contrasts, with right combination among the captured point of view and framing that you chose for their publication.
I like the effect of the water around the animals, although I believe that the weak point of the scene is the focus something soft, perhaps because of the colors of the same ones.
My best wishes... Ricardo

"Okay, so this is my 600th post!
That's a lot of pictures, come to think of it!"

Shucks…suddenly I feel like a very tired man.
That's a lot of pictures, come to think of it…and it meant a LOT OF HARD WORK to accomplish this. After all, for each photo posted to TN there were numerous others taken in the process and each posting had to be prepared (optimised) and notes had to be written. So, this reflects an enormous amount of time and effort invested in TN. Add to this all the additional time spent to write 8695 critiques, process 127 workshop, hundreds (if not thousands) of replies to critiques, forum contributions, other involvements on the site, and even the hustle-&-bustle of spill-over activities.

That really says a lot about your vigour and energy. At this stage you have the 3rd most photos on TN. An incredible record if one considers the fact that you joined TN long after those that are ahead of you. Red Greg is standing at 636 and Pam is at an unbelievable 780.

Great stuff MF and a big C O N G R A T U L A T I O N & THANK YOU.

I don’t even think I need to comment on the technical merits of this photo (not because there might be anything wrong with it), but the main thing is that you posted it for the enjoyment and excitement you experienced in taking it. After so many postings and so much effort that went into your hobby and TN and you are still getting all worked up because you saw a new species and wanted to share the thrill of the moment with us speaks volumes of your sustained enthusiasm. Remarkable and praise worthy indeed.

Thanks for sharing all these wonderful encounters with us.
Warmest regards.
Loot
