Another of this red ant. This one stopped for minute and gave me a chance to get some shots. This is focus stacked from 15 or so pictures and I worked really hard on it so please don't focus on the awkward gaps in the focus. Lots of detail here in large and original.
Edit: fixed about 10 "mistakes" in stacking and re-upped.
Vase of red anemones on my studio windowsill. Camera handheld, exposure 0.3 sec, intentional camera movement.
Tip: Watch it large. The texture in the leaf is beautiful.

For those of you who have so kindly asked what this is - it is the brake light panel at the rear window of my daughter's car.
My backyard Maple Tree has become the caching spot for a pair of backyard Red-headed Woodpeckers. The birds are stashing seeds in a crevice on a tree branch. The birds fly over to the feeder, grab a seed or two and then fly back to the branch to eat the seeds and keep a few in there for later. What a treat to watch this nature show going on right before my eyes in my backyard.

The Red Panda - Ailurus fulgens ("shining cat") - is a mostly herbivorous mammal, specialised as a bamboo feeder. It is slightly larger than a domestic cat (40-60 cm long, 3-6 kg weight). It is endemic to the Himalayas in Bhutan, southern China, India, Laos, Nepal, and Myanmar. It is the state animal in the Indian state of Sikkim. It is also the mascot of the Darjeeling international festivals.
Their population continues to decline due to habitat fragmentation. Red Pandas are classified as endangered. No reliable numbers exist for the total population but it is very threatened due to the fragmentation of its natural habitats, their small numbers, and their food specialisation needs. In south-west China the Red Panda is hunted for its fur and especially for its highly-valued bushy tail from which hats are produced. In the areas of China where the Red Panda lives, their fur is often used for local cultural ceremonies and in weddings the bridegroom traditionally carries the hide. The 'good-luck charm' hats are used by Chinese newlyweds. This, and the continuous clearing of the forests, has significantly reduced the population.
It is now protected in all countries in which it lives, and the hunting of Red Pandas is illegal everywhere. Nevertheless, poaching continues and they are often illegally hunted and sold to zoos for dumping prices. The IUCN has mandated that small Pandas are a “threatened species“ since 1996, however it is now listed as endangered.
A 40% decrease in Red Panda populations has been reported in China over the last 50 years, and those in the western/Himalayan areas are considered to be in worse shape. Red Pandas have a naturally low birth rate (usually single or twin births per year) and a high death rate in the wild. - From Wikipedia.
This example was seen at the National Zoo in Washington DC.

This is a non-HDR project. I did take different exposures for HDR shots, but in the end I decided to go with a regular version. I did make some edits in Lightroom and Photoshop to bring out the colors in the scene.
I was there with my cousin and friend who is the 350z owner. The place was really dirty with dust and there were some janitors with hoses and wipers but they weren't really doing anything. So we gave them some encouragement and they ended up cleaning that part of the parking lot level. During the whole shoot the janitors and security guards were watching us as we set up our gear and the car. Surprisingly enough the guards were quite helpful and didn't bother us at all. Unlike some other experiences I've had in similar lots before.
