Winter grass is almost tall enough to mow and walk on. Finally the best season is HERE! 70 degrees is going to be as hot as it gets as opposed to 110 - I could freaking cry.
Top 100: Shadow Cat
📸 by Nick Dale Photography
If you have a full-frame camera with a 45-50 MP sensor, extreme cropping is possible and sometimes essential. Nick took this shot of a female leopard as it walked along the riverbank in Chobe National Park, but even though he was using his 600mm lens, he was quite far away, so she didn't fill the frame by any means.
However, he happened to notice that she was passing in front of bushes that were in deep shadow, so he decided to crop in to isolate the leopard's head against the black background. And that made the difference between a 'ho, hum' record shot and something that might make the viewer say, "Wow!" Shot with a Sony ⍺1 and a 600mm lens in Chobe National Park, Botswana, in May 2024.ISO 100, 600mm, f/4, 1/1000, -1.7 EV

Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus) by Don Dunning Via Flickr: "Easier to see than most owls, the Short-ear lives in open terrain, such as prairies and marshes. It is often active during daylight, especially in the evening. When hunting it flies low over the fields, with buoyant, floppy wingbeats, looking rather like a giant moth. Aside from its North American range, it also nests in South America and Eurasia, and on many oceanic islands, including Hawaii." Information from audubon.org
