From Monday:
Lorell, the bee in the bottle brush is exquisite.
Don, another winner with the brownish butterfly.
MFI, more fascinating flora and fauna from your country - always welcome photos from you.
Rich, you captured enormous power - well done.
From today's Daily:
Don, beautiful colors, soft light, unusual but solid compositions. That spider photo belongs on a magazine cover.
Lorell, interesting shapes and light pattern; a powerful image. Fish-eye lens, and some texture added?
I have watched soccer for almost 40 years (since my daughter starting playing AYSO), so I've learned to appreciate a scoreless or low-scoring game. But I absolutely agree with you about the idiotic attempts to fool the ref by faking injuries. An opposing player brushes by and the other player grabs his head or knee and rolls over 3 or 4 times as if he's tumbling down a steep slope, screaming in such agony that one suspects the docs will have to perform an emergency amputation right there on the field. That's one reason why I prefer watching the women's game - they show more class than the men by not faking injuries, are just as skilled, and absolutely just as tough. US player Michelle Akers played with many injuries and later in her career with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - that's unimaginable. I remember one game on TV when Michelle took cleats right to the face - didn't phase her at all. And in a match against Canada, recently retired Carli Lloyd was on the ground after a collision and an opposing player intentionally stomped on her face. Carli got up and continued playing.
OK, back to photography: Natalie, that's a beautiful Christmas card. (I used to make cards out of my photos; still do now and then.)
MFI, very impressive spider and bee captures.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
