Okay, you've made me feel small. Small because that dragonfly is bigger than me and because I will never be as good a photographer as you except perhaps in my dreams! lol Fantastic image, Paul! You are the best!

Great close up. Love the detail on it's back. That dried up leaf at the end of the insect has got to go. Cloning time.
