<p>A piece of leaf I stumbled by while touring the Bei Hai park of Beijing with a friend yesterday...I was instantly caught by the unique shadows on it.<br>

<p>This charming fellow lives under our deck.I shot him from a second floor window with a D800E, 70-200 f/2.8 VR, and TC-14EII, ISO 400, 1/60 @ f/5.6. This is an extreme crop—the full size image is about 4 megapixels.</p><div></div>

<p>Nice shots this Wednesday morning. Mine is an old barn early in the morning with the rising sun reflecting off the old metal roof. </p><div></div>

<p>Happy wednesday!<br>

Tim, that's a really marvellous image!<br>

Shot „Beach Polo” some days ago. Quite challenging for the photographer, at least for me.<br>

I've tried to blur-out the many advertising boards by opening up the lens (aperture).<br>

I've missed some good shots and this one is a half-miss (lacking the ball). <br />Playing with Silver Efex is great fun; this time I've tried to get somehow realistic tones.<br />I've shot a few frames on film (F5 with 135/2 Ais - what a feeling:-) too - but I'm afraid it's hard to beat the digital files from a decent camera.</p><div></div>

<p>The bluebells were out in a local woodland last week. This is one of the best "carpets" I've seen to date.<br>

Taken with a little Coolpix P100.</p><div></div>

[birdied]

<p>Wonderful shots as always ! Found this egret hunting a local delicacy, crawfish. <br>

Hope you enjoy !</p>

<p>This week image was taken in Cades Cove, TN. I watched this bear for over an hour eating leaves. Then he decided to come down. I was totally amazed how they can climb up and down trees.</p><div></div>
