Really good stuff. I particularly like the one of the darter - the comp, detail, DOF - it's all very good.

Very very nice. I love how they're framed, the lighting and the subject. TNX for sharing them.

Great shots, my favorite is number one, wait number two or three or four. Shoot all of them are fantastic.

Well done series Pd , all four are excellent examples of exposure, focus and subject. It is simply amazing how Herons look so different from around the world, yet all look a little similar.

The red eye in the Reed Cormorant is awesome.. and your expsoure in the White Egret is very good and quite difficult in the sun, all four are really clean and great images.. thanks for showing them

Vin
