Wow, that really puts your photography into sharper perspective (pun intended). Astonishing!

Thank you very much!

And the wasp seems more in focus on that. Just stupendous.

It's just amazing that you could get such a detailed shot of the wasp from the distance that you mentioned in your earlier post. Excellent work, as usual.

Sha these really are incredibly beautiful, detailed and sharp.
To see that tiny wasp so clearly from that distance in the top photo speaks volumes about the lens and sensor plus your ability to hold it all.
Mind blowing image quality.

Thank you so much for your nice comments, Richard!

Spectacular shot, Shalu. I have to laugh at the osprey's curiosity.

It's an Anhinga, nice shot.

Thank you very much. I was totally unfamiliar with this bird, and it was strangely located in the Peterson field guide.

First post in the longest time, here is a very cute New Zealand native, Zosterops lateralis the silvereye, or Tauhou, as it is referred to in Maori. It is a small bird, 13g, 12cm long. They are locally quite common, and tend to hang out in small flocks. Here it is feeding on an aloe native to Africa, in Wellington, New Zealand. Enjoy!
The numbers: 6Dmkii, 70-200f4L@200mm, ISO400, F5, 1/4000sec, -3EV.
