Snow leopards (Panthera uncia), photographed at the Bronx zoo on July 23, 2008.
For those of you who know more about photography than I do, I have a question. I've been shooting in the raw NEF format and many of my photographs have come out looking very vibrant. When I convert the image to a format I can use on the web, however, (like jpg) they lose much of that great color and take on a sickly shade of green (like the ones above, unfortunately). Do you have any recommendations about how to convert NEF files to a web-friendly format without sacrificing too much quality?

A praying mantis, photographed this past weekend in central NJ. I do not know the genus and species, however, so if anyone has a clue feel free to speak up in the comments (I would just look through the genus and species listing but it is far too large).

This past weekend I accidentally startled a white-tailed deer fawn (Odocoileus virginianus) that was resting in some tall grass. I was able to snap a few shots before it ran off into the woods (I think the third one is the most impressive).
I also found a femur and part of the hip of a small deer in the same area, which reminds me that I need to check in on that skull I collected a few months ago.
