How did Rod spot that? I thought my screen had dirt on it. Oh wait it does. Nice shot

Baked; baking. Big raptor on the far left?

Intriguing looking out/in combination, both subjects probably wanting to swap places

Nicely done, I like the cool tones and of course big fan of the bug

I see the attraction, especially the backlit bird and its immediate surrounds.

So hot, so early; it must be hard on these critters too. It seems to be in good form though.

Both are great shots; I'm not going to nominate a preference.

Can only echo Uncle Vanya. Nailed it.

Superb macro shot. Deliciously detailed in the right places. Great angle - your safety is inspiring.

I really love the background and the colors here. Superb.
