Great shot of the GBH, Denise! (Maybe would have benefitted from more DoF, but not sure that you had the shutter speed or ISO to trade.) The portraits of your granddaughter (?) are really nice. The 3rd shot (insect) has great composition, but looks out of focus.


Here are my contributions...


Flume Cascade in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. This one was shot with the Joby Gorillapod SLR Zoom that I brought on the family vacation, instead of the full-sized CF tripod. I wrapped the Gorillapod around the guard rail by the side of the highway for this shot, and with a 1/3 s exposure I think it did pretty well!

This fellow was paddling around a local pond, and was close enough that I was glad I could zoom out to frame the shot...
