I also agree with comments above but it is a great shot

Wonderful!

Beautiful composition and details. Love it. Except for the vignetting :)

Preciosa, me encantan el encuadre, la luz, los tonos...

Wow. This one really caught my eye. The 3 similar, yet very distinct colors, and the way it's done just seems like something out of a western. Awesome job.

Like diamonds.

Awesome

Love those colors.

hi. I went to benoitp.com when I saw this one and I really like your way of taking photos. Thanks for the inspiration.

Excellent!

A great composition. The rain drops in the stone are beautiful!!

Strong emotions are created by this image. I agree that the raindrops make the stone look even more alive.

Wonderful capture - wow. Instant fave.

Best,
Jon

Great 'far far end' feeling I get, looking at this picture.

no comments and such a nice picture ??
Congrats on a well deserved featured !

at least its good sharp ;-) from beak to eye, nice!

very natural in light, I love how the first feathers come out so well.

was this a wild bird?
it puzzles me, is it a peregrin or a lanner? or none of both :p

@Pindakaas: Shot with a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM. A new Canon shop (www.canonline.be/) opened his doors at Boezinge (near Ieper). You could try all lenses for free. To enhance the quality of the trial, they arranged a birds show so you could take pictures of the birdies to get a feeling about the quality of the Canon stuff.
It's a Falco Perigrinus
You can find more pictures of the birds at my photoblog

Beautiful image. So crisp.

Very nice shot, i love the bokeh in this shot.

(oops, I meant "by cutting")

excellent details!

I fully agree with MMeye.
Very well done.

Beautiful eyes

what a eyes

I had the same thought in regards to that dark tree - hate messing about with nature sometimes:-)

Best,
Jon

i just want to say : wouw

This is a great picture! I don't mind the dark tree so much. Nature is imperfect and beautiful at the same time.

I enjoy this image a lot. I like the warmth of he colors and the sharp contrast of the snow.

I love the contrast of the white snow and the yellow leafes...beautiful shot...I agree with the comments above...the scene seems very realistic...some each one of us could experience...great job!

Beautiful!

very sharp and nice detail.

Geo,

Unusual perspective on this one. I love the light on the little pearls in the bottom left of the photograph. Nice job.

Best,
Jon

What was your goal with this image? I think the angle is interesting, but I am not thrilled with the composition. Just my humble opinion. I would also suggest that you did not use the flash head on as it appears.

I like the sharpness of this image, I think it would have worked better without a flash, and a better composition.

Cool formation; The thickness is incredible.

Really like this shot!! Colours and ice blend perfectly. As well the running water add so much to the general feeling of ice @ water :) Keep the shutter clicken :)

This is outstanding. It certainly makes the viewer feel the weather conditions.

Yes, indeed.

Génial ... Créatif !!!

Wow, you have guts, this one looks dangerous! Great shot!

Lovehow you can see the textures in the snow and that you captured the movement of the snow in the air...

Awesome! How did you get such depth in te color in the sky and in the detail of the foreground?

Thanks Todd. It's a HDR photo from three exposures, I would have had no chance to record that amount of details in such a contrasty scene otherwise.

I thought it might have been. Well executed!
