My first pictures on forum

[cubfan]

I finally have found out how to load pictures to this forum. I'm using a 10D and 28-70 L lens. Maybe someone can help me identify the type of hawk and the butterfly. The hawk surprised me by landing on my deck and I took the picture through a window. Butterfly was on my garden phlox.

How DO you post pictures to this forum? BTW, great pictures! Did you photoshop them or are they right out of the camera?

Thanks for the comments. I had my son help me. There is a current post on the forum telling you how to do it. I added sharpening and and contrast in photoshop 7 but no major manipulations.
