Post Your Best Nature Shots!

Here are a fewI got with my 40D and "lowly" kit EF 28-135. They are unprocessed except for resizing.

















Okay, I cropped this next one a bit.





Suggestions for cropping, processing RAWs, and composition are all welcome.

Just opened DPP for maybe the first time. [:$] Here is my attempt at editing the GBH portrait using the CR2 (RAW) file.I increased sharpness to 4 from 0, changed WB to Daylight and "converted and saved" to a 16 bit TIFF. Then I re-opened the TIFF, cropped it to fit on this page and then saved as a JPEG. Downloaded to PhotoBucket, and here we are! Is this a good workflow?

when the duckies are grown up and fat, I have a great recipe for them.

You wouldn't mind sending it my way, would you?

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"]Hey - I think these photo's you posted are excellent!I can't give much criticism since I am unfimiliar with taking professional photos and the terms that photographers use, but your photo's are great. I don't even know how to change (if it is even possible) the ISO, "+1/3", f/??, etc.
