easy peasy

I don't know why I put this off until the last day. *sigh*

The hard part was getting him to land near me by the pond and smile. :D

ETA: I checked after midnight, and saw that I had another day.

BRILLIANT .. this is beautiful ..
you have totally nailed the details on the dragonfly and then that background .. !!! ... STUNNING .. !! ..
congrats on such a gorgeous photo .. and getting a ribbon ..
like i said to janine .. you should print this and hang it in your house ..
insects need more exposure . lol .. unintended pun .. which are often the best .. !! .. <3

Great close up. I don't know how you were able to get so close without it flying away. Were you dressed up like a dragonfly?

Love the composition and that nicely complementary background. The near eye looks just slightly soft to my eye, but the mouth and legs are nice and sharp.
