Taken at a pond on school grounds. Noticed this brilliant red dragonfly flitting about and waited for it to touch down. A difficult shot as it was quite far away from the edge. I believe it was worth it.

Photos like this make me feel very out of my league... Where do you live that you have insects and weather like this in February? And can I please come live with you? 9.
great macro. I wish the background was a little darker, as that shade of green so light is a little to powerful for the naked human eye! Ha, still a 10
I like it a lot, but I don’t really connect the photo to a creative interpretation of the theme texture. Not off topic or anything, but does the viewer connect it to texture? Or is there something in the picture that makes you think about other themes? Looking back at my own entry, I see the same weakness… I like the DOF and thered texture of the wings.
Fine study. You've captured some texture in those wings for sure - real fragility there, and also some degree of feel to the stick. DOF is excellent, and also the colour. Photographically, it doesn't quite appeal to me so much - perhaps that rush of colours in the background, but an excellent wildlife macro, for all that.
