Boss photos you've taken

In lieu of the photos I lost here’s one of the Alexandra Road Estate in Camden I took on my phone. It’s a genuinely staggering place especially if you’re into architecture like me and unlike many places in London you’re pretty unlikely to be stabbed there if you’re walking about with a camera.

That place has been used a lot in tv drama stuff! Great picture!
 
Dragonflie or Damselflie ?

I`m not great on distinguishing between the two, other than Dragonflie`s are normally bigger.

Lovely photo too ;)
Ta. Damsel fly. Dragonflies are bigger and don't fold their wings like that. When I took this there were hundreds about - it was clearly procreation time of year!

Obviously my first pic was of a total loser in the procreation stakes.

As a truly non-expert in photography (I couldn't even begin to contribute to this thread if it weren't for the iPhones great cameras and the ability to take >15 photos and then pick the best one), I am partial to the top one, the color one. It has this eery cinematographic abandoned town feel to it; the color and especially the sun-halo makes it feel more real. I do like the B&W, but it is often a bit cliche (my personal opinion, of course) and is overused.
 
Mirid bugs are common wherever there is an abundant food source. Some mirid species prey exclusively on soft-bodied invertebrates, while others also feed on plant sap if they have depleted prey numbers, causing distorted leaf growth and leaving puncture marks in fruits. (Source)

These were on a bedding plant close to the apple tree - the tree is where I usually find the miridae, so not really sure why this one was down there...

I can't say whether this one is carnivorous or not, but it seemed interested in an aphid.
