 Shot on a trip to the park, got up really early. This is my best shot of the day. We will see how it flies on the harsh DPC voters.

Exactly a 6! talk about on the edge. Makes me wish I had entered my own similar shot. Would have been interesting to see how two similar entries fared. I think yours has some more interesting patterns and may be slightly sharper.

These things are soooo cool. I'm amazed at the variations in colors these seem to have. I got a similarly detailed shot of a nice bright blue one recently.

Looks weirdly double-jointed ;-) And almost like she's batting her little eyes at me.

So sharp, great colours, would like a tiny bit more DOF.

Jimmy glared angrily across the foliage at his flight instructor. For months the guy had been on his case. For months he'd done everything possible to make sure that Jimmy wouldn't pass. Now, it was the day of the test, and Jimmy had been sent to platform 20, a platform well known for its existence in a troublesome area of cross-winds. A platform that had been the site of many a devastating and tragic crash.

This was to be where Jimmy was to perform his final flight evaluation. It was a set-up designed to see him fail.

Well that failure would not be his. Not today. The instructor would rue the day that he had messed with Jimmy the Dragon. Today, he would FLY. Jimmy flexed his wings, set his face in a hard and determined glare, and launched into the air...

One of the best dragonfly photos I have seen in a long while.
