The May 2011 edition of Nature Photographers Online Magazine is now live!

This month's cover shot/Photo of the Month is a spectacular flora/wildlife shot by Steve Sieren. Perhaps one of the best of its kind ever posted in the NPN galleries, it goes to show how such extraordinary photo opportunities can often appear quickly and without warning!

Alain's series on criticism continues this month with Understanding Criticism Part 2 of 3: Responding to Criticism. This is a highly recommended series of articles for those who take the improvement of their photography seriously.

Guy Tal offers yet another point-of-view in the never-ending Nikon vs. Canon debate. Oh, wait a minute, the article isn't really about that...but do make sure you take the time to read Guy's worthy advice!

NPN member Jim DeWitt serves up a nice review of the Olympus E-5 Digital Single-Lens Reflex Camera. If you are an "Olympian" (and even if you're not) this review is a must-read.

For those chronic hard copy readers amoung us, NPN member Paul Faust offers reviews of four nature photography books that you may want to check out the next time you visit the local book store.

And finally, on a much more somber note, we pay tribute to long time NPN member Ronnie Gaubert, who passed away on May 3 after a battle with ALS disease. Please take some time to read In Memory of Ronnie Gaubert and follow the links provided to the superb nature photography that Ronnie was renown for. We invite all of you to leave a note or share a memory of Ronnie in the comments section.
