Brilliant shot. Maybe a bit more saturation, but comp is dead on.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments, it is very encouraging.


Dave, I really like the reaction of the monkey in the last image,one looksso serious, the other looks dissapointed, were you doing something that they didn't approve of ? [] j/k! I think you can enhance the image by sharpening it, looks like the softness is due to resizing.


Jayson, that is one nice image, a classic pose and composition of apeacock.


I took a walk at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve and found this heron hunting smelts


40D & 400 f/5.6L, f/6.3, 1/3200, ISO 250, -1


This is fullframe. The larger version came straight out of the camera, I onlyresized, sharpened and added a border. For this one, I felt that the bg is too blue so I desaturated the bg. I also blended the black area in the ULC.

Spent yesterday afternoon trying to photograph Little Grebesat a pond in a local park. They are very elusive and seem to dive underwater as soon as you focus on them! They pop up silently somewhere else and are very difficult to spot. These are my best 2 efforts below - critique please. I think the lillies in the foreground ruin shot 2 and I'm not over the moon with the composition of shot 1.I think I'll be back pondside as soon as the rain clears!
