Willie, Ok you copy cat (grin)..I have posted about 3 macro close up dragonfly pics myself..I always enjoy nature, wildlife(including insects). I usually try to capture mine alone emphasizing just the insect itself, but I really like the way you got this guy on the leaf..makes for a pleasing pic to look at..thanks for sharing and God Bless

Wow- what an interesting creature! Talk about camouflage! Excellent clarity of focus on him. He looks like he has ear muffs on, and that little eye is amazing- the original beady eye. I've never seen a dragonfly like this one- really transparent wings and such a bright green torso. Great capture. Did you get a butterfly as well?

Stunning my friend. The verdant green of the leaf is surpassed only by the colouring of the dragonfly. The clarity of your shots always lets us see the tiniest of detail. Composition is excellent. Cyn

This is a great shot of the dragon fly Willie. You are so lucky to be getting your shots sitting in the car. I like the translucent wings. Great close-up. Good composition, focus and detail. Sam

Amazing shot of this dragonfly! A PERFECT entry for this contest!! Excellent focus, great color, although a contrast would have been great too, but for this contest- it is super!! Amazing detail and a superb macro shot- you must have an excellent camera- great job!

Excellent piece of work Willie, unfortunately I ran out of sixes. Your focus could not be any better and I love the crisp details. Your crop keeps the main elements in view without going overboard. A very well composed image.

This tio me, is a better than average dragon fly shot, because of the crop..to me,that is creative, and artistic..makes the viewer part of the image. Donkeyoatey
