 A small, bland damsel fly macro. I don't enter much anymore, so I thought I might like the thrill (or disappointment) of the update button again. I want to know what is wrong with this photo. I suspect many will think the DOF is way to shallow, but I wanted to express my artistic side a little. Maybe the focus isn't crisp enough. I like it. It's seems like he is happy. :)

Whisker-thin DOF but it works for this little guy with his big eyes. I like the limited palette, too.

Nice image, good focus on the eyes. Not sure about the colours, it's a bit flat.
