 I caught this damselfly resting on a plant while taking pictures at a local nature conservation area. And maybe it's me, but he seems to look rather irritated with me. Looks like it's thinking, "Do you mind? Would you put that darn camera away?"

Photo was taken with my Sony H2, with the VCL-M3358 Closeup Lens attached. Photo was cropped and resized, with colour balance, contrast and saturation correction, and sharpening in post-processing.

A very nice macro entry. The detail you captured in the eyes are lost to the viewer due to the blown highlights in the face.

I love the "expression" on the bug's face - and the title to go with it!

Nice, but not quite there. A little soft, and overexposed in the highlights. Not really sure how this fits for 'Stationary'?
