Hi Walter,

We love walking in woodland and 'looking up' (one of our pet sayings) and this is a particularly pleasing example - the B&W treatment is spot on too!

Great work - and thank you for sharing...

Hi Ed,

A most eye-catching composition - and an excellent example of zooming in to part of a creature, where less is most definitely more.

Great stuff! Thank you for sharing...

Hi Ed,

Beautifully captured with excellent fine feather detail, scintillating colour highlights and the perfect eye-pop.

(And what a well fluffed up little cutie!).

Thank you for sharing...

Went down to the Cockrell Butterfly Center at the Houston museum of natural sciences yesterday. I shot with both a Tamron 18-400mm lens as well as the RF 100 macro and a mix of natural light as well as some that were lit with an on-camera Canon flash and AK diffuser

The thirty-two-foot tall Milk Can was an ice cream stand, and an example of “roadside vernacular architecture” to attract motorists to stop and spend money. It was built in Lincoln, Rhode Island in 1931 and closed in 1968. In 1987, it was moved to its current location in North Smithfield, RI but wasn’t put into operation. The Milk Can is on the National Register of Historic Places but is not being preserved.

Hi Rob,

A wonderful capture of a beautiful creature (well, unless you happen to be in its sights!).

Love the pose/ subject separation with the perfect backdrop.

A joy to behold - thank you for sharing...

Hi Chris,

A series of eye-catching captures featuring striking subjects, rich details and popping colours - looks to us like you had a lot of fun!

(It's impossible to choose a favourite - but #3 is an absolute cutie... ).


Well done all-round - and thank you for sharing...

Hi Walter,

What a sight to behold (and photograph)! The stark B&W treatment is spot on and adds to the drama.

(The backstory is fascinating and adds to the interest).

Thank you for sharing...

Hi Walter,

Cheers - much appreciated!

(It's as dull as ditch water here in central England too).
