Crop Shots~A Little Bit Of Magic (Cropped shots only)

Caught a lovely scene with kites cross crossing the sky against a beautiful sky and treeline. The seemed so foreign to the sky and i nearly cropped them out but it made for a lovely distraction as they glided back and forth into the frame I decided they had to stay!. Apparently the kite is an ancient device that is believed to have been invented in China by two philosophers in the fifth century B.C. named Mo Di and Luc Ban.
After ignoring a sign that said "danger" and moving on a narrow trail we ended up in this magnificent place.
I noticed that white rock with dark spots on it, and as we got closer I realized that those tiny black dots were in fact birds (most probably Brandt's Cormorants) !
This is a 100% crop from a photograph I posted earlier titled "Birds at Golden Gate National Park" so the birds are visible on the huge rock ! But I think seeing the overall view was more pleasant.

Managed to stop the car without the hawk immediately flying away - - a rare occurrence. Sun was pretty bright so a lot more dark shadows than you would like but otherwise a clear shot even after some cropping - - I'm glad my lens is finally sharp again after another round of micro-adjustments.

The theme of Macro Mondays for this week is Redux. I chose the curves theme and have cropped this one quite a bit. Color processing always feels challenging and this one was no exception. I hope this brightens your day and serves as reminder that we all have challenges that we need to work on overcoming.

Watching this magnificent owl hunting from atop a power pole I had the camera in a portrait orientation to try and catch it as it flew to the ground. Instead it flew across the road and right over my vehicle. A horizontal crop from vertical.

This door and windows appear on a side street very near the beach at Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. This image is a tighter cropping of the same image I posted (later in this stream) earlier. It seems much better without as many of the distracting elements.
Eastern-tailed Blue butterfly taking nectar from a White Clover floret in deep grass.
As I understand things, the eye-spots and tail-like appendages are designed to mimic the insect's head. All in the hope that a predator attack there and saving the life of the butterfly. Seems to work. I've encountered specimens with that part of their wing clipped by what appears to be a bird's beak.
Common though not abundant, this year.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
I like this almost architectural feel to this crop, and most car people would identify this as Packard from the Radiator Shell shape alone. This model used rather small headlights compared to many at the time, but they still look good. The reflections provided lots of interesting intense colors. This horizontal image will appear much bigger on Flickr.
