This is sweet looking with all of them having the same features and all the different colors. It's almost a dozen hugs!
The one black one in the back may look better if it were more toward the front of the group, as the light falls off back there, and he sort of blends into the background. In the studio, a flash behind the bears lighting the background would make the outlines at the top stand out from the dark behind them.

You snagged a fun moment, and I like the finished image.

This is a nice macro to begin with. I like that you can see the little hooks on the "foot." Bumble bees have those too, but this is the first time that I have noticed them on a dragonfly. The overlay PP does add interest to the image.

This is a story within a story. What it looks like is totally different from what was actually going on. The processing gave an excellent result with the skin tones being so natural looking. That's a pretty girl in the shot.

You made and interesting double up of the several exposures. Even the thumb made me curious.

The cars can't be avoided. This is a nice job of getting a current shot to look like something from the mid 1940's.

This is a nice little nature bit. It's good that you had the right lens for this shot. That is an odd look with the filter. It looks like a topography map, or marine chart.

This is great! The critter looks like something that lived before men were on the planet. The smooth twist of wire going thru the shot is nice too.

Excellent exposure, and good timing on this shot. Love the green water. It looks like they had about a 20 knot wind, which is great for what they were doing.
Thanks for sharing your vacation.
