Love looking at your posts. Very nice indeed. I like the shot of the young man as well.

Have run out of superlatives for your bird photos...they are, as always, wonderfully composed and shot. I love seeing them. I also REALLY like the images of the macaques, with the cute look on the baby's face, and the protective stance of the mother. Nice candid of the young boy too... looks like you snapped the shutter just as he made eye contact with you.

Great photos, I enjoyed your website especially the ones from the Philippines. Kennon Road, Lions Head to Baguio City

Wow, wow, wow!!! If you lived here in the US, I'd ask to go birdwatching with you!!

Beautiful photos! The Collared Kingfisher's bill is so different than our Belted Kingfisher's! I've never seen a Yellow Bittern. We have Least Bittern and American Bittern here. The members of my birding forum would be sooooooooo jealous to see these, hee hee. You even have a catchlight in the eye of the Tern!!

Good to see you're back Ray! Pictures are amazing as always with #4 being my favorite. The colors, composition and background are top notch. Great work.
