From the looks of it someone beat the stuffing out of this one. Must have been something it said. Somewhere out there is a dragonfly with anger management problems. A shot from several summers ago on a warm sunny day while taking a break from chasing ducks around the pond, or maybe I was eluding the seagulls, or trying to shoot dragonflies. I must have been doing something, otherwise why would I have been there? Do people still go out just to enjoy nature for nature's sake without having ulterior motives?

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Yes Wendell - people still go out to enjoy nature and get great shots like this one. Nice close-up work!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Very nice composition and the colours are stunning plus I like how the back is in a soft blur and the sharp detail to the front rushes .

Yes, we still go out to enjoy just nature but I always have 2 cameras with me too. Very nicely done with a nice capture of the little details.

Great composition with excellent lighting ... Re your question: I agree people must have ulterior motive. Why bother otherwise? HOWGH.

[even when we go out for a regular walk - every time we must have some ulterior motive, goal or target or simply some destination to be reached - lots of thinking it requires LOL]

Wendell - The side lighting and blurred background work very well for this image. The reed on the left offers a balance to the subject of the image - the mature cattail. Thad
