Nature Jackdaw and Bumble Bee

Jackdaw and Bumble Bee · 12:54 PM

The Jackdaw is one of the most detailed and sharp pictures I've taken so far. Love the contrast with the background.
The Bee shows once again how good a big zoom can be to replicate Macro. It is cropped very slightly.

You've captured good detail in both these shots and the lighting seems to be spot on.

Got to love how well the K3 meters...

Very nice capture! Love the background and the pose in the first shot.

Thanks. I did think it may be a little distracting at first glance, but I think it's enhanced it. It's a palm frond.

Nicely done. Lots of great detail. Love the background on the first one.
