Cool bug. The image needs to be in sharper focus though. I also suggest not cropping so tight as it "traps" this little guy. Give him some room to spread those wings.

Neat capture. Maybe you could tilt to adjust for the false horizon. IMO it could be more sharp as well.

Darn, I spent ages commenting on this and then got logged out - but will try to rewrite: I like the image and think it fits the challenge. The title is good and those eyes do look like bubbles. If this photo were mine I would try to capture so that the eyes were placed less closely to the frame and more to the left, so that they featured more as a point of focus - at the moment the wings seem to be the focus of attention. The surface that the insect sits on appears to slope and might benefit from levelling up in the photo manipulation software you use. I like the background which doesn't detract from the insect. I've scored this a 4, but feel that this particular image could be improved with a few careful manipulations which would turn it into a 'wow' photo. Best of luck with this in the challenge.

Please don't be offended by this comment. I am making an effort to comment on all images that I scored below a 4. Although your image meets the challenge requirements, I believe attention to the following might have served to make it work better for me (Mind you, this is only MY opinion):
Colors and composition are interesting. Image has strong halos, is out of focus and somewhat grainy.

nice take on the challenge, I have the hardest time with DOF on these shots, so I really admire what you've done here.

Wow! This is an awesome shot of a dragonfly! HIs eyes are a tad soft as it looks like the wings are the focal point, but I know how difficult it is to get these little guys to stay put for a photo! Great job!
