a nice shot of these Lesser Flamingos, it's an amazing pink colours.
Decent sharpness, well exposed and nice natural colours, but as most of your pictures it's very tight,
leave a bit more space both in front and behind and it will look even nicer, just a hint.
Well done.

it's nice to see you still are active after all these years.
This is a real close-up of the head of flesh fly-
Well detailed , we can see the cells in the eyes and even the long tongue. Not an easy shot.
Maybe a bit dark but it's ok.
Well done, mf.

just poped in and saw this fine picture of the Jumping spider.
Well handle with the fill-flash, it looks natural, not like a contrast flash photo, really nice to see.
Also DOF is good, the most important parts, eyes, head and front legs are in very good focus.
Well done, old friend.

a nice capture achieved by you but obviously not for the fly.
It's incredibly sharp with great depth of field. Fly and spider as well
as the parts of the flower are presented with superb sharpness.

I see that you are still very active on TrekNature and provide us
with nice pictures of beautiful butterflies such as this Junonia
atlites with its prominent orange spots. I know this species from
Sulawesi where I found it at waysides but not within the forest.
Best wishes
