Another juvenile, slightly larger than one I showed previously. He didn't want his pic taken at all...

He tried to get as far from me as possible...

Excellent captures Al,
Particularly like pic#1- with those angles and reflections the pic has turned into a very interesting composition.

Thanks Brian. I'm amazed at the depth of field I got out of it.

Very nice! Reminds me of something that happened yesterday. I stepped out of the cabin to find a black and white shield bug nearly as large as a tennis ball on the porch. I grabbed the camera, unfortunately the AF Beam spooked him (apparently) and he flew off high into a tree. I never knew they got so big!

Thanks BE. It's amazing how some shots just work well, even when the subject is not too keen to pose.
