Uitstekend! Wat 'n gevreet! Laat my dink aan Japie se Party Animal! Wil nog altyd so 'n foto kry, maar kon nog nooit!

Polarizers are then landscape photogrpahers friend. Lovely colors, you did very well to the details in the shadows and still the BG is not blow out. Nice depth and dimension in this landscape and the leading line to the left is catchy. I do not normally comment on frames but I like yours, it does go well with the photo.

I disabled smileys a long time ago and only hand them out in real life. But you did put a great smile on my face thanx.

Ello! Mehmet... What an extraordinary collection of seashells you have here. I do know who to ask now if I find a shell of interest again. I haven't seen any expert in this field on TN before and believe its a nice gain for the site. Your photographs are technically perfect and well presented. Your notes makes it a post it true TN nature... Very well done.

I have disabled smileys a long time ago... and only dish out smileys in real life. :D Your collection did hand me one thanx.

ello Ori... It been a while since we spoke. Been to SA lately? Nice to see we are second on your list of number of photos posted.

Gotta go with Steve on this... some sort of King Cricket.

gerhardt (11620) [2009-04-26 14:49]
Almost happy?? I would be more than happy with a capture like this. Love the compo.. you had to get low and dirty for this. The clear BG makes this stand out... 3D like.

Ola! Janice. So glad to find you posting here. Love the leading line and depth of the landscape.. very interesting and those colors are unreal. Lovely.

Me mate from down under... and a bit to the east. How are you Steve? You have accumulated a very nice portfolio since the last time I had a look. Very nice work and keep up with April fool's antics... the green shroom made me look.

Ola! Miles. Nice name for the photo website... I'll head over there after I paid my dues here. Very nice rich colors and pose from this bird. Always enjoyed looking at your work... still do...

Hello Sabine,

So nice to find you still here on TN. Very nice macro work you have composed here in an interesting composition and collage. The photo that got be hooked on nature photography is one of a mantis egg hatching.

Ik vertrou jy ben wel mijn vriend?

When I look at this macro I remember two things about your photos... exceptional macro work and the best landscapes (over at trekearth) I have seen. I am very glad to see you still posting Jaap.

Stunning, well done!

I am with Gerhard
This is a stunning image!
The Lantana is classified as an invader plant here in SA, but the hummer love it, I see!
It looks as if the hummer is intoning a benediction on the meal about to be received.
Bestregards

Nah, it does not get better than this - nothing beats seeing a LIT like this, the whole trip suddenly has sparkles attached and the silly smile just do not leave one's face! Glad you got your CAT!, Sheriff.

Just sometimes in life, everything gels and a magic moment is created, ever to be treasured in the soul, something you can think back to with satisfaction and a bit of regret, because that moment is gone from this world, but not from the mind! This is such a moment, masterfully rendered for our enjoyment as well. God created memory so that we could have roses in winter! A scene to treasure, TFS.

Kuifie! I love this guy - he lives in my yard too, but he is a real treat to photograph - this is a splendid shot, nice colours and you got him in a typical pose too!

Callie (7555) [2008-02-22 6:02]
Absolutely my type of photograph - they went that-a-way! Like the action and wing pointing to his left. Lovely pic, great exposure too!

Great image and write-up. Looks a bit like a wingless praying mantis. You might consider, depending on the original size and crop. to rotate the image slightly right, up to give a slight diagonal to the body - I reckon this will strengthen your composition and visual impact!

Callie (7555) [2008-02-22 5:21]
The only time when it gets better than this is if you see and shoot it yourself too! Uitstekend sit jou slimkind! Any leopard, any time, anywhere is a great leopard!
