Freebooter, as usual your perspective with that great macro lens takes us into another world, full of beauty and intrigue. Great colors, I agree, on the last pic of the spider's lunch. I have to mention also the delicate beauty and detail in your backlit dragonfly - definately a winner amongst your many incredible shots...!
BigMac, really nice composition and exposure on the bird (stork?) on roof shot. Tricky contrast between the bird and the background sky, but you nailed it.
Plymouthbreezer, a nice B/W portrait. I like the softness, yet great detail. Only thing is, since you included a lot of the subjects upper body, I wish you would have not cropped the top of his hair... still, a very nice shot.
Steamie, that night shot (church) is dramatic, and gorgeous.
