Boss photos you've taken

Did a bit of bird photography - though nothing challenging as they were all kind of not doing much.
There wasn't much of interest either aside form common birds/wildfowl, so I tried to be creative with them...
Out of line:
Duck Support:
Stickin' n Drippin':
Then there was a nice cottage in the evening light:
Then there were the views - this out to the Irish Sea:
Then the last few are at a place known as Jenny Brown's Point - this skilfully constructed tall chimney of limestone which stands on the shoreline at Jenny Brown's point is the only remains of a copper smelting works established at the end of the 18th century. A deep channel enabled shipping to dock at the now ruined jetty, conveying machinery for the enterprise.
The one above was taken with the sun behind me, and then I whiled away some time until the sun went lower in the sky to shoot back into the light. I did underexpose in error, so I had to do a touch of HDR. This also introduced noise, so I also did a black and white version to help mask it.

Some bugs.
A bee in flight in the first one (one of the hardest things to capture).

As some will be well aware, getting bees in flight is pretty difficult but sometimes you just don't want to give up trying...
So here's today's attempts - starting with the abject failures to the more successful...
With red-tailed bumbles, and honey bees at the ready - I tried first for the bumbles going for Leycesteria shrub's flowers, and the honey bees going as they always do at fuchsia flowers, and finally, most successfully, the welsh poppy...

tbh my ol' chum I have no idea. I just saw it on reddit.
Having an evening meal...
I spotted this fly sat on the edge of a leaf, and went for the camera. Once I was in position and firing off a few shots, it transpired that I had caught it during an evening meal, until finished and wash seemingly having a wash...
Had 3 extension tubes on for these. In the wider, first image, you can also see a small mite on the edge of the leaf just below the fly, and to the right (out of the focal area) was another potential meal, a blackfly (and I have never, ever seen so many blackfly in the garden as I have this summer. The spiders webs are full of dead ones. Hundreds of them about.
Anyway, I diverse from the main subject, the fly. Amazing colour once illuminated with the flash, lifting a dull brown to a glowing gold.
