The alligator shots are really good, Sury.
As you said, a zoom lens would have produced better photos of the birds...

Now, that is both amazing and dangerous looking, Sury.
I like them and Sigma 17-35 did well, in my opinion.

Amazing, Valery. :D
These birds are so neatly captured, and so pleasing to observe for us viewers ...

The last one is so joyful that I want to splash around in bare feet, in a shallow pool of stream water myself! :D

Re: Looking Back

Sury, thank you. :) These three that you uploaded are great but especially the 1st is a charmer with even light diffusion, details and wonderful colors. :D The second is great in details of the pollen and creased, creamy petal details but the dark shadow across the fine petals are intrusive.

Re: Volcanoes, Flowers, and Waterfalls (from a recent trip)

It's always a joy to breathe fresh clean, crisp, chilly mountain air. That being said, at 15,700 ft the oxygen is a little scarce.

Looks great as a winter scene, especially the rusty color of the trucks against the flying, powdery snow is doing the real magic! :)
I remember this photo really well. Years went by really fast.
