THE BEST OF NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY BY IÑAKI RELANZÓN
The images. They are quite a treat.
Also the way to shell them, not only the EXIF, but how he guts the moment of taking each one of them. The difficulties, why he chose that composition and not another, advice, anecdotes, etc.
Another aspect to highlight is the variety of topics and conditions. I can't think of other nature themes that are not included (50 images go a long way).
The fact that it is a book in a square format and not very heavy makes it easy to read not only at home, but also outside.
WORST
For me it is not a but, however, it can be for those looking for a manual to use, with a more typical structure. This book is not like that.
The good thing is that starting on page 28, you can read it in the order you want.
