More great shots, Don.
I love the first. It has an hdr look to it. I guess it is rare to see a shot with a perfectly exposed sky *and* ground. Did you use a graduated filter in post processing?
I also love the last one. I've seen (and taken) a lot of dragonfly shots, but I don't think I've seen one from that angle, with the head visible through the wing. Plus I love the contrast between the smooth green background and the texture of the twig (or whatever thing it is perched on).
Thanks Jon. The first one is an HDR. Thank you for your comments on the last one. That angle only appealed to me because I could get the head in focus thru the wing. Your comments make me feel like mission acomplished.
I got this yesterday with my new 60mm. It's not the clearest. I shouldn't have been at 2.8 but I was excited and it was tough catching the bee still. 100% 50D

Not in nature, but it's close enough. [:)]

Hi Mark, thanks for the comments.
The cool color is the result of 9:30am sun[:)]

Simply amazing. Amazing. I think this is my favorite photo that I have seen of yours. And that says a lot because you produce an amazing body of work with all those great bird shots! This one however, is perfect to me.
Beautiful shots as always.
Went on a butterfly count over the weekend, and ended up with more than just butterflies:
