 This one is a little sad, as I felt responsible for the demise of this poor dragonfly. I was chasing him around trying to get a shot and he landed on this stalk with a spider lurking. At first I didn't know what happened and had to take a much closer look. This is a well camouflaged spider.

Another way to look - you provided a nice healthy meal to the spider.

Look unnatural, as if they pose for you.
Joke apart, the composition is great and the transparency is exceptional. This picture captivates me in a way that seldom other flora/fauna does. 9

That's actually a pretty spider, so I'll forgive him for eating an equally pretty dragonfly. Perfect DOF; excellent nature macro.
