Thought I would wait awhile before putting up my dragonfly image as everyone else’s were so much better. Anyway, this little guy was in my sisters' backyard late this summer.

Ah ha there it is...I have been waiting some time (well since "Red Baron") for you to post this one. Assuming this is the dragonfly you mentioned back then? Oh, now I see your comment above hehe. This is a great shot Mike. Nice details in the legs and the color matching with it's perch. Thanks for posting...it will join the ranks with its buddies here:-)

Funny, I, for some reason, thought it was a 'fly tie'ing clamp from the thumbnail .. hey, don't snicker at me .. the name fit.

(I mean it, stop it right now, or I'll give you somethin' to snicker at)

But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile. Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.

Great catch of the veining in the wings and the stick of a body. They seem more mechanical than alive to me.

hard to get the depth of field right when you're focusing so close, i mean the background is beautiful, but unfortunately the wings arent perfectly in focus like the body, oh well tough comprimise, still beautiful detail

just wondering, is autofocus good enough on macros to focus like that, or did you do it manually?

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings: And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill. That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes. We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not. Yet so the universe was wrought . Thought is another name for fate. Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
