| This is a great shot of the Dragonfly. The only thing I would recommend is to crop a bit more off the right side....the expanse of the light color is distracting. |

| Incredible shot, excellent clarity and bright color. Just a personal preference, I would center him in the frame. |

| a very cool shot of the dragon fly. usually i'd like to see them more from the front, but this is great with the colors and texture (wish you could submit this next week?) of the wings. two small nitpicky things to remove (outside of this challenge of course) would be to clone out the bottom left and top right corner. my top 10 this week. -- gr8photos (9) |

| Great shot! (Better than the one I didn't submit, whew!) Very good wings!!!! I like the blue kind better, but I couldn't get one to sit still, either. 10 Swash |

| by far the best macro I have seen this week. The depth of field and the sharpness is right on the money. The only thing that keeps me from giving a ten on this photo was out of your control... I dont think the background works well... the blur is good but the uneven color and contrast is a bit distracting from your subject... = 9 - jmsetzler |

| Very sharp. That's nice. Little bit unbalanced becaue of the body, and dark background are on the left, and right side is too empty. |

| Beautiful. The only distracting element is in the lower right, but you can't crop it without losing part of the dragonfly. Great focus and clarity. The green bud gives it just the right amount of bright color I think. karmat |

| Wow! Really nice capture -- these guys flit around so fast I don't know how you were able to get this photograph! Beautiful colors and detail. One of my favorites this week -- 10. (LanSnake) |

| excellent focusing. that's where good optics must come in handy - i need to get physically very close to get this macro with coolpix 995 :) |

| Good control of DOF for both depth and positioning. Did you get a shot from the front too? |

| Love dragon flys, brings back memories of Evenings in south Mississippi |

| This is very nice shot... Good subject , good focus, nice framing ... I do find the flower pot to the left somewhat distracting though... 8 ... RLS |

| Great shot! I spent hours wandering around my back yard trying to take pictures of fireflies so I can really appreciate the effort that went into this one. 10 |

| I've shot close to 200 pix of dragonflies trying to get as good a shot as this. Well done. (And thanks for raising the bar! I'll aim a little higher now) |
