Beautiful shot again, with such a huge appearing flower due to this small animal - Ilove outdoor as well and this picture is unusual in composition and presentation, super close up - beautiful angel - excellent frame choice and super contrast and lighting - the natural color combination brings a nice harmony into the picture, well seen, well presented

    Of course, we're sisters. I can still remember when you've first excitedly review my post. I was so happy. I was very new here. You take care, okay. Lots of families are struggling. I think, with this pandemic, many had been in deep emotional crises especially those who have lost a love one or even love ones. Just a lot of sadness.

    You are so right, and art and photography is a way to get into oneness with nature and life - and yes, I am a caretaker and I would love to embrace you all, as I know what is going on behind the scenes =a hidden war... stay strong and keep positive- happy week big hug

A wonderful macro style shot of this dragonfly. The colors are so pretty and well defined to showcase the fly. Beautiful composition and framing make this a stand out photo. Best wishes for the contest!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of both insect and bloom. Like the petal detail and the water drops. Colours and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

The detail in the dragon fly and the petals are intriguing. The water droplets too! I love the saturation of the photo but also how the tones almost make you feel the humidity and greenness of a swamp or in a pond, lovely:)

A beautiful dragonfly that was cooperative enough to perch on that great looking waterlily bud. A well composed shot with great natural colors.
