Rick obviously paid attention to the theme of this month’s gallery!
As usual, all nice shots and a pleasure to view.

Another great gallery although for an open gallery I would have expected
a few more contributions.

Then again, I also had a hell of a time finding something that (a) I
wanted to show and that (b) had been taken with Pentax equipment.

I won't even try to come up with favourites. They're all great, each one
in their own way.

Ralf

Thanks Chaps & Brian. A sort of World tour. I found that Gallery
therapeutic after a tough day.

This is a really interesting gallery!

Henk, that dragonfly shot is great. The body and right wing are sharp, but the left wing  is not, and shades nicely into the beautifully soft greenery in the background. I would have expected more DOF at f/7.1, unless you were very close. How did you do this?

Filip, the lighting and composition are very relaxing. I was hoping that there was a link to the sound of the bowls, but alas I could only find one leading to narration in Dutch.

Ralf, yours is enjoyably whimsical.

Bruce, iI’m not sure what to think about yours. Was this vandalism or the scene of a fire? (could be both, actually…)

Eric, how did you light this? The ighting and DOF are perfect. I hope you have this hanging on a wall!

Great action shot, Dan. The cyclists’ banking gives a great impression of speed, and the scene is very colorful.

Beautiful sunset, Alan. I’m impressed by how well you held the colors in the sky, and even a bit in the sun.

Cheers,

Rick

I'm still not sure if this was a real carcass of a bus. There were a few
other objects which looked just as realistic but were quite obviously
made of cardboard.

Thanks Rick. It looks as both front wings are unsharp due to rapid
movement. Both hind wings have about the same sharpness so there is less
movement at that moment.
DOF is not that great at 300 (450) mm and much cropping is still needed for
such in-flight pics.

Well, thanks Rick. You clearly see it in a much more analytical way than
I do. I simply thought it was a pretty sunset!

Yeah - very nice gallery and the 15 shots in the index make for a good
look too.
Rick - I cracked up with your very appropriate title...

I thought Ralf's title should have been "ART?"  Marco 's shot was
particularly powerful (whether grab shot
 or posed) it was chilling.

.. Henk's photo is one I've especially liked for a while and

Dave's fun with the crystal ball I thought was the very best of all he
has done playing around with it.

and Alan, I see you do have good light somewhere near you :-)  I gues
you were not in Kruger when you took that one.

But I think a theme does draw more  submissions because it gives us a
starting point and if it is an uncommon subject
for each of us then it becomes a challenge to strtetch interpretation.. 
I'm scared of planes and 'looking down" so
July will be challenging for me -
