Congrats on a really nice shot. I just saw one of these rascals the other day, but couldn't get him to cooperate. From an old Essex boy, what a smashing shot!

Wow, thanks everyone... an unexpected result! There were so many great shots in this challenge, and I'm much more fond of many of my other entries that didn't do so well!
And I know now what a damselfly is!

lovely shot. The colours are great, and the focussing has clearly brought the subject away from the background. well done.

Actually, it's a damselfly, but this is a nice study - good sharpness and nice lighting. I know the water srops are attractive, but I think I'd crop some of the empty space on the right to let the insect occupy more of the shot.

Great capture. Definite wow factor. BTW, it's a damsel fly.

I personally love pictures of dragonflies and this one is an excellent one. Great colors and in focus too! Nothing worse than an out of focus macro. The water drops on the leaf really add to this shot. Very nice.

Background is a problem, not sure how you'd fix it though.

I've seen this critter before, and I've always wondered whether it's really a dragonfly because of how it holds its wings when at rest -this is sort of like misidentifying a moth as a butterfly... But that's a digression. The blue is brilliant in this photo - though it gets a bit diluted by the light background. Still, a nice shot!

There were so many dragonflies in this contest. By far, this one's the best.
The colors, the diagonal lines, the water drops. Excellent.

What a lovely capture with the water and dragonfly so clear and the background so nicely out of focus. Only minor problem for me is that one very dark and large vertically hanging leaf which competes a little with the foreground for me but still a wonderful image.
