Thanks for the comment guys,


Dann, I'm always amazed by your macro work. They are great, from composition to background to details.

Nate,

Another beautiful shot Nate.


I love the pattern the water drops and the reflections make.


Love how the bird has somewhere to go in the frame. Exposure looks great! highlights aren't blown and details in the darks aren't lost


Ahh I just love it! :)

That's one of the key things to keep in mind with nature photography.

Both shots there are very impressive. The exposure is absolutely perfect and the clarity and sharpness is stunning. Well done.

I feel like I can see a Nate bird shot and just know it's him.


I like the fuzzy moth/butterfly type closeup....


Fuzzy bugs are cool.

Yes, me too... it's not that hard since no one here (no offense) gets anything close to his shots... but well how one can get anything close to him without 400mm? [hope you understand the joke LOL].

Went to Panama Last week. Here are a few critters.... I need a better lens.
