I've been admiring Sandi's Dragon Fly images and wondering when I'd see something similar in my neck of the woods (literally).
So when I returned to my mushrooms in the ravine, I was kneeling down to open up the tripod and found a dead dragon fly right next to my knee. A first casualty of Saturday nights' frost.
You might consider this to be a manipulation, as I placed the bug on the mushroom cap.

You gave the dragonfly a beautiful resting place. An amazing photo. Did a great job with this.

I like how you placed him the roomie so that we could see the deatails better. Nicely done! Shame that the frost got him, I really like these flyers.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography.

You captured a dead one?...lol...You should have kept your mouth shut cause I don't think anyone would have noticed. I think its neat laying on the mushroom and your focus and colors are excellent! Great work John!

Nicely "arranged" John. It looks really good siting there like that. Well done.

People aren't going to remember the things you do. They're going to remember how you made people feel. Be kind, gracious, and appreciative.

You either have to give it "the kiss of life" or a bite out that magic mushroom!...
Nice work pal..

Great shot, it's quite possible that the dragon was already there. Nice close up.

Nice arrangement and composition, John. Very interestingly you've put this dragonfly on the mushroom without breaking some parts. Good hands and nerves. :)

Great title for your photo. Nicely composed shot, John. Good details and textures.

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick.

I'm SHOCKED, shocked I tell you! (OK, not really... I would have done the same thing, but not with such good results).

What an interesting story resulting in a beautiful photo!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
The mushroom is a nice choice to highlight his details. Wow, frost in Sept sounds so surreal! They sometimes call them Skeeter Hawks around here. : )
