I really enjoyed your black and white processing. The fox cubs are off the cute scale. I wish I could see tone as you do. Tres bien!!

Great set, but that Leopard shot is a standout!
Nice! Welcome to BCG!
Very interesting images! Welcome to BCG!
Great set! Luv the variety.
Probably my favorite image of the year and I used it on my Christmas cards:
I'm particulaly proud of this one. There is no masking and the light and shadows was created by two trees off the left. I laid there waiting for the sun to set, casting a shadow in front of and behind the owl. I was treated with the owl turning to face the sunset.
After many attemps over several days, finally able to capture a shot of a swallow:
I just love the colors and wing position:
A tough shot since it was after sunset, but certainly one of my favorites. Now the two babies are bigger and I get to watch them on my trail cam almost every night:
After walking around the wildlife refuge for hours and seeing nothing, this beauty jumped out of the brush right in front of my car as I was packing up!

A Puku escapes death from a pack of Wild Dog by jumping into a lagoon, only to be met by an ambitious Croc that eventually bit off more than it could chew,
which saw this lucky young male make a miraculous double escape!

Wonderful set! Your commentary makes these outstanding images come alive.
Superb shots, Marc!
My wife and I were at Point No Point County Park today on the north end of the Kitsap Peninsula (west side of Puget Sound) and two river otters were on a rock about 50 feet from shore. One decided to use the other as a headrest, and this became one of my favorite (and last) wildlife images of 2024.

I take usually 7000 to 10000 photos a week year around. I live in the Klamath Basin of Oregon where the majority of the Pacific Flyway birds pass thru every year. My photos are mostly of waterbirds and the raptors that rely on them for food with an occasional squirrel, marmot, muskrat, beaver, coyote, antelope and deer thrown in. I shoot with a Nikon z9, 800z lens, and always use a 2x tc. The reach of 1600 is astonishing, but the higher iso and F13 limit are challenging. With Topaz, these are typical of the photos I can get – maybe not as perfectly sharp as some of you like, but I think better than not taking them at all. I keep a carefully curated record of the best of all the photos I have taken the last eight years.
