If you love excellent photography of beautiful and/or fascinating birds/landscapes/animals, please do yourself a favor and take a long look at this young man's work.

His name is Ilia Shalamaev, and he was born in Uzbekistan. He now lives in Israel. He writes on his website that " Since I was young, I learned to enjoy and appreciate the wonderful and diverse landscapes and wildlife my country of origin had to offer. To further my understanding of the natural world, I chose to study biology at the University... My passion for Wildlife has led me to specialize in Birds - photography."

He may specialize in birds (which he has photographed with fantastic detail and artistry), but he also does impressive captures of star-trails and nighttime landscapes, luminous images of wild ibix, portrait sittings of praying mantids, and many other joyous visions that he shares -- including a BMW for the car lovers.

Hopefully, he will inspire someone to do work of similar excellence. I'll just be happy to look and enjoy.

http://www.cloudland.net/ This is Tim Ernst's site. One will find a wealth of information, photos, and chatty news. Tim lives very near me and is a great photographer.

http://www.glennwheeler.com/ Glenn is a good friend, one of Tim's friends, and a mentor to anyone with a need. His heart is as big as all outdoors; and his nature photography is outstanding.

CJ, I visited the link you posted. This man does amazing work. Thank you for sharing it.
