Default Sunday Variety

Good Morning DPS Family, I slept in the fine Sunday morning in South Korea! But the coffee's brewed and I'm ready to share my selections for the day.
I have a mix of shots today, so here we go!

This is a Crested Serpent Eagle (Spilornis Cheela) Taken in Khao Yai National park in Thailand.

Fly's Eyes. (I liked how the Golden Helmet looks almost Laced in place on this one. Note the pointy toed shoes, l.o.l, I wished I had had an extension tube for this to get just a little colser.)

Well Michael you know how much I enjoy your macros, and these are something special. The bokeh in the dragonfly shot is fabulous. I like the way he seems to stand out from the background. The spider shot is well detailed and the eagle is so well composed. TFS

Michael

Michael, these are some really fantastic shots. You could've left that spider off, just kidding (sorta).

Thanks Fred, I wish he would have stayed around a little longer. I missed the flight shots in my excitement.
