This is a beautiful image of a dragonfly Super! Very nice focus on every part of the dragonflies body. Love the eye, you captured it well! The blurred background really makes this fellow stand out. Nicely Done! Congrats on your 3rd place win! :o) Nancy

Beautiful dragonfly perfect on the dainty petals of a flower- gorgeous against the muted background! I love the dragonfly for many reasons! Great job and good luck!

Another great photograph Supergold. I enjoy all of the photos you share of insects with the provided descriptions. This one is nice as the pink flower gives a nice backdrop to the dragonfly, good luck!

Brilliant close up photo of this dragonfly. The blurred background captures the dragonfly very nicely. Excellent lighting and sharp focus. Thanks for sharing

Comment from Lorafina
Wow. Stunning. The details! The "tail" area almost looks like bamboo. Perfect pose with wing on opposite side in front of face with visible detail including the "eye" on the wimg visible. I love how busy he looks.

Comment from shoregrass
What a great macro for the contest. The full extension pose is great and the very fine detail shows off every nuance of its body and head. Composed nicely too with just enough of the flower for interest. Well done and good luck.

A very nice shot with a beautiful eye and fine detail all the way to the tail (a tribute to fine alignment of the subject). The flower is attractive and the colors are great.

Comment from Charlie Newman
Focus in this photo is very sharp. The details of the dragonfly are clear and stand out very well against the softened background. This photo shows great camera techniques.
