Fret not the votes. I didn't receive any 10s - you at least got one of those! If you let this place grind you down based on 2s, 3s and 4s, it ain't much fun. I know - I've let it do that to me. I get tired of myself when that happens. :-) As for this shot, amazing detail and color - you really did an excellent job of presenting this guy.

Thanks also to those who made the comments and invigorated others to do so as well as a side challenge. Great initiative and we need more folks like them here at DPC.

Thank you.

Nice colors and great focus. The DOF is just enough to take the background out of focus.

I'm wondering how one goes about identifying a creature such as this, but it's worth it to come up with a name like that! Lovely colors, details, and surrounding elements.

Did your research as well huh? Excellent shot, and good title too! I really like that you managed to get into a position that allowed for the dragonfly to be nearly perfectly in the plane of focus. Well done - and thank you for not over saturating this, it's really much better for that. --- Background looks really good here too, the variations of green brown and black are very interesting and add to the image in a significant way.

Wow. Everything works here and love the long narrow leaves empahsizing the the lengthy body as well/ The only thing that distracts is the Brown older leave running across and through the tail end. 8

Beautiful coloration captured of this insect in it's natural environment. Love the level of detail we can see in the latices of the dragonfly's wings. Great close-up shot.
