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:-)
Wow! that's beautiful... what are you talking about soo much better? Beautiful composition and framing as well as clarity! thank you for sharing this with us Michael, we love you're work :) 10/10 and another to my fav's :)
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.
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.

nice shot. My two cats love to catch these guys and play with them, I have found many in my house. I hope this one lives longer then the ones in my backyard.
that is brilliant!! I love the detail and focus. I tried to take a pic of one in my yard, what a terrible photo it turned out to be. I love this so much
