Pretzel's learning curve...

Back to some critter huntin' and macro shots now!
The first one I call "Dangerous Dance", as that little spider on the left hopped from petal to petal trying to get a good angle on this oblivious little damsel. She didn't seem to notice, but rather just wandered all around this cone flower gathering pollen in the midst of her bliss. Not sure if the little spider thought he would go for an unpleasant ride or what, but he never did make the final pounce.
The little lady moved on, but in this black and white version, if you look close, the new bloom she chose had a bit of webbing underneath as well. Not sure if she was fearless or unobservant.

I really like the color on this shot. The pink, yellow orange and green all are so separated. They all jump out and grab you,

This little fellow was TINY, but he knew just where to hang out to find some tasty dinner... 1 farther away shot, one zoomed in a bit more.

Where the heck has Pretzel been? On vacation!
Actually down in that "South Florida" area, and I think I've got a few pics worth keeping.
Being on vacation is no excuse for not posting. Hotels all have WIFI now. Last time I went Camping in a tent we had WIFI. Now get those photos up.
Hollywood, Davie, Dania Beach areas.

It's the ability to see/edit on this laptop as compare to my iMac at home.
That and the fact that the fam is getting all of my time, so review and edit time is non-existent here for the most part.The call will be answered upon my return... LOL
Hey banker-biker,
I don't think there is any problem with the shadow…
the sharpness… na!
colour rendition… hmmm
THERE I GOT THE FLAW!
… and this is an unforgivable one: my name is not on the registrations!
=)
Ok, a couple more teasers, nothing really worth bragging about, eh? Still working on photos and my trial for LR expired. Guess I gotta save up some dough after vacation and go ahead and make that purchase... WHEE!
This one (along with a pic I'm saving that I captured of my son chasing seagulls) was one I wish I had taken in time for the "Summertime" challenge, but ahh well... A couple of blokes on the beach, one enjoying his ice cream treat, the other wishing he was enjoying the ice cream treat.
Then there's this cool silhouette of a gull in flight as I was snapping the sunrise over the east coast waters... Nothing fancy about it, broke the rule of thirds and all, but it just struck me.

A couple of pics (from WAY below) of the Frigate Bird, or "sky pirate". The black one is the male and was hard to pick out details against a bright blue sky, being so far away. The female came out a little better with her white underbelly. I added a vignette effect to both just to break up the bland bright blue...
reminds me of a scene from the movie "Clash of the Titans", the old version, good shot
