This little guy/girl is quite the comic - based on your composition. Fantastic color tones and clarity, I am totally transformed into believing that this little guy/girl can talk and is telling a joke (while eating his/her last heckler). Great work!

Oh cool. I have some nice damselfly shots, but I have never gotten this close without them flying away. Focus is pin-sharp right where is needs to be.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1124 images, I gave 31 of them a 9. Your image was one of those 31.

There are lots of bug macros in this challenge, but this one really stands out to me... I've never really looked so closely at a damselfly, and I must say I always thought that their eyes would be like the compound eyes of a fly... they look more like frog eyes! Wonderful capture. Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.
