  1. I adore this photo. Such a peaceful and colorful scene. I like how in this case it isn't zoomed in to the max. Posted 10 years ago
    1. Thanks! I was quite happy with this shot too, although I have to admit it was mostly luck. I was ill that day, and having camera troubles (camera kept not registering the lens), so I was more focused on those troubles and not really caring about composition.
      The good news is, I know exactly why I'm happy with the shot, and know I could replicate it in the future (assuming my camera comes back fixed).

      1. Good for you, hope you got well, and your camera as well. I like this "overview" style with the species and its habitat included. I'm personally often obsessed with getting as close as possible, so this is refreshing. Posted 10 years ago
  2. Wonderful shot, love the way you used the environment in the photo.
    Wonderful compositie with great light and colors. Looks like a fairytale!
