well i personally like this, do you have a copy with the bug only in color? i think that would be really cool also, like the blur of the b/g

Hey neighbor! Well when I get back to Georgetown we'll sort of be neighbors lol. I can't wait to go to this event, KY has only been a part of my life for about 3 years and I've never gotten the chance to go. I hear it is awesome. howzitboy mentioned wishing you had clouds in the background, this image would be pretty easy to photoshop them into, heck I've got a couple cloud shots if you want to try it...(don't tell anyone but I did it to this image since it had just a plain sucky sky).

I like this shot. I think the white background is a little bright and could be darkened slightly for a better result, but I think the colors of the dragonfly can be seen better because of the white background. I love the shadow it is casting. Great job. Insects are such a tough model to use.

Awesome Spider!!!! I love bug shots. Love the perspective. You did great getting the center of the spider in focus and the legs slightly out of focus. Love this.

This is a fabulous shot! I love all the different colors. You captured them at the peak time. This photo makes me wish I had been there to see all the beautiful fireworks and it also makes me remember all the times I have been to firework displays. Lots of good memories. Thanks for rekindling the fire(works) memories.

Cool action shot with the flame trail!! Because the sky is so bright, your shadow areas really appear dark. Perhaps a bit of dodge/burn action to fix this. I like the close detail, just not sure on the crop...but don't know how to fix - or not. For some reason this appears a touch "flat" to me. Can you bump the contrast a bit without blowing out parts of this? I'd love to see a shot of the cockpit as a closeup! :)
