I like how you use the dark background in capturing this orange dragonfly. Excellent angle and focus showing its eyes and legs with clarity. A point of improvement is just to decrease brightness a bit to improve the overbright bench. Overall, this is a nice entry to this Bug Contest.

A wonderful visual presented here of this dragonfly. I love the angle that you used to capture his essence. The background is perfect for highlighting your subject. Wonderful photography. Thank you for sharing.

Chuck,
a beautiful picture of the Flame Skipper ~ Libellula saturata a Dragon fly native to western North America, it's colour makes it stand out from the dark background. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A good looking image posted here! Your fine and classical composition gives us an enjoyable view of that micro chopper and its location. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

A nice capture of this orange bug landing on the bench. However, I think it could be a little sharper to show more detail. The black background is a good pick to highlight the image.

First I want to say good luck to you in the contest! Second, I literally thought this was a helicopter for a minute until I zoomed in closer. The bug literally looks like a helicopter! Amazing capture, amazing angle! Thank you for sharing!
