Upon further reflection, found a few more that will work.

Here are a few that seemed to fit. The Luray Caverns pix were posted before, but it's hard to not include those in a "reflections" challenge. Apologies in advance for not having the time (or taking forever) to respond to any comments.

I know I've posted this one before, but these are some vets from a recent Honor Flight at Dulles Airport in VA. It's great to look at all of their hats to see where/when they served.

Summer is all about spending time outside, whether in the woods or on the tarmac at local airshows!

Here are a few more for consideration. Like before, I emphasized the major (and minor) rules being followed.
Also, thanks for the positive comments on the first batch. I apologize for not responding to the notes, but it's hard enough to find the time to post a few images, much less work my way through the replies.

Here's a stack that works its way through your five rules. I labeled each with the main rule being emphasized, with the minor rules in parentheses. Enjoy.

Kinda liked this one from the San Diego Zoo in April. I didn't notice until downloading from the camera that evening how well the antelope's neck and antlers mimicked the cave wall in the background.

Good to see you again, CE. I haven't been there yet but seem to remember there was a big article in the CE magazine when it was being constructed.
There was an article on it, and my company handled the construction management for the museum, so I was able to get in before all the planes and exhibits were added. For anyone that thinks the hangar looks big now, they should have seen it when it was mostly empty.

A few more to add to the mix. First three are from the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, which is the branch of the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum near Dulles Airport. Last one is a baby Praying Mantis that was hanging out near our dining room window.

While watching a fireworks show in Northern VA on July 5th, a grasshopper decided that the end of my lens offered the best view of the fireworks. He hopped up there about 20 minutes before the half hour long show and stayed until the end, even as I rotated the camera on the tripod back and forth between landscape and portrait. The blurry pix were taken with an iPhone 8 and the last one with the grasshopper's Canon-made perch (not a closeup, but I figured if he was serving as my assistant during the shoot, I should include some of his handiwork).

The Porsche appears to be a Speedster, not a Spyder & possibly a replica. The rear view mirror does not appear to be original.-----Henry
I’m pretty sure it’s a Spyder, but it’s hard to make a call on the replica question. The rear mirror is a little different, but I’ve seen others with the more common “mirror on a stick” version swapped out with something similar. At most car shows, seeing a Spyder or a Shelby Cobra, I would assume it’s a replica, but with the cars that show up at this specific Cars & Coffee event, more often than not they are originals.

Is the silver roadster a Porsche Spyder?
Yep. A 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, if i remember correctly.

Some shots from this past Saturday's Cars and Coffee event in Great Falls, VA. The shots below are only a small sampling of the cars that congregate every Saturday morning, and do not even include some of the really incredible cars that were there this weekend, like a 1911 Franklin that looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor (the crowd around it never parted long enough to get a decent photo). FYI, this is the event that made national news last year when someone backed over the front end of a $300k custom Ferrari F458.

A cardinal family conveniently built a nest right outside our family room window, so I was able to get a few shots of the baby birds at feeding time. They've since grown up and moved on, so I guess we're empty nesters...
