WOW .. congratulations on 2nd place for such a great shot .
and i totally get it about the 800 shots .. but you have so much more patience than me .. in that sort of heat i'd be out of there after about 5 minutes .. a well deserved ribbon .. :)

this is intense ... such an amazing image ..
and seeing your shutter speed you must have quite a way with ppl .. getting them all to stay still for that long ..
everything works in this .. especially the silhouettes and the beautiful way you have caught the water movement ..
many congratulations on such a brilliant image and of course the blue .. definitely one for the books .. :)

this is INCREDIBLE .. one of the best bee photos ever ..
i'm wondering what equipment you are using to get such a wonderful result .. because with such close-up macro you do need a lot of talent, patience and good equipment .. :)
and btw .. many congratulations on 5th place in the free study .. :)

Hiker in the Great Sand Dunes NP

what an incredible scene .. it looks like the hiker has accessed another world above our world .. but quite close ..
the curve of the foreground creates that weird feeling .. and the 'clouds' on the sand .. this is almost mesmerizing .. :)
