Looks like junior is getting more impatient by the day :-) Much clearer shot (I even see a catchlight in mama's eye); I'm really glad you went back and got this.

I don't see red ones often around here so I'm glad you got such a nice, clear shot to share.

Beautiful detail here. Really nice the way the light is reflecting from those delicate wings.

This is a very clear shot for that range with a P&S. Your reshoot paid off in this shot. It looks like the fledgling is about ready to begin flying with it's parents to learn how to be an adult.
We have a pair of smaller woodpeckers that nest in the same tree in our yard every season. Limbs and leaves on the tree block having a clear view to the entrance to the nest though.

The Panasonic did a nice job of focus and capture for this scene. The P&S cameras seem to have the right stuff for close shooting. Color and overall sharpness is excellent in the area of focus.
I see that the same variety of dragonfly that we have here lives there as well, even though the climate is totally different in the winter.

Too bad about the quality. That's so frustrating when the capture is so wonderful. I find the pileated woodpeckers very hard to shoot. They are always so high up in the trees. I've gotten lots of shots, but none that I am really happy with.

I like the water drops. They are so bright and clear. I really miss the color though, I don't think this converted well to b&w.

I like the composition. The whites do seem a bit dark though.

Just beautiful! Incredible detail on the wings and markings on its back. If you send your photo to this site, maybe he can identify it for you and might want to use your shot on the site.

Gorrrrrgeous contrasts. You ought to ask around if something like this would work in that High Contrast challenge (I'd tell you but I am still trying to find a definition lol). This is an awesome abstract. The splashes of water really define this photo. Great job!
