Awwwww. . . . poor guy. I don't even care for bugs, but I find myself really feeling compassion for that little thing. This is a really cool take on a wings challenge!

Wow. Very different to your standard dragonfly shot. There's something quite sad about seeing these wings in decay. If I have one criticism it's that the blue body seems a little too bright, perhaps this could have been toned down a bit? Overall I love the shot.

Oh poor little thing! Likes like a survivor of Hurricane Dean! Great irridiscent colours and I love the uncluttered, pastel background.

Definitely a good time! Was this little guy alive? Think it'd be rather hard to fly. I like the centered composition, very nice.

It never ceases to amaze me how they can survive in with this, or what made them get to this condition. Nice capture and good focus.
