One of my favorites. I love the capture of predator and prey. I thought it would do better but this was a tough challenge. Congrats on your top 10 finish.

This is so amazing. I thought it was Roz's which is about the highest compliment you could get for macro photography. Congratulations. I thought it would win.

Reminds me so much of an image I did a while ago. Beautiful lines in the blur.

The shadow is a great frame for the birds. Very soft but full of action. Nice!

Connecticut! :)

Thanks, and I'll share my secret with you.. But you gotta keep it quiet. - I'm a bug whisperer..- ;) lol!

Actually in truth, the thing used me like a cheap date, was all over me and clearly was just looking for dinner. It actually jumped on my lens and then nabbed the insect it's eating above - I had to set it on a leaf, thing was super cooperative, probably got 150 good shots of it eating.. In hindsight I should have chosen a more interesting and less natural setting, like a neon pink tiny flower... ;)

So much for that ribbon. As if a 6.97 is anything to scoff at! ;-]
