 I found this guy dead in the grass and couldn't pass up the opportunity to photograph him. Getting him to look natural wasn't easy, but hopefully, I got close.

Man, that's funny! Posing a dead dragonfly! haha. Nice shot, and nice DOF. I think the pose looks natural, wouldn't have ever guessed he was dead unless you told us. Was a flash used? I just wondered about the 'tail' reflecting light...could just be the colors though.

I agree with the others. The depth of field on this one is just right. Maybe cropping is just a bit tight on the right?

Still, all four of your images are good, clear examples of this beauty.

Wow! What a great shot. I love the details (even though the poor feller is dead). Thanks for sharing it!

I never would have known it was dead if you hadn't mentioned it! Great colors and very natural looking.
