A little over 17 hours of Post Processing alone (on and off of course not straight through:-) ).
All made possible from a dragonfly, a toy dragon, a crocodile, and a komodo dragon (hmm 3 'dragons' in the shot - very happy that the trip to the zoo was during this challenge week)
Other things of interest about the composition. The flowers in the shot are called Firebushes. I had 'toyed' with the thought of naming this Elisel Hunts, but decided against it. Elisel is a small she-dragon in the Dragon Prince series. The name means 'Little Wing' in the old tongue in this fiction series.
Final composition composed of 6 separate images

Hey girl...I gave you a 6 on the image. It's very well done, composition is Great. I would had scored higher, but I felt the back ground was a little (I hate this word) distracting...Lol. I would had given your reworked one a min. of 7. With the back ground on the rework made me focus more on the Dragons.......Nice work! (no way you should had gotten so many 4's)
this is nicely done. I enjoy the idea and concept...
the only thing that got you, I think, is the blending around the protuberances on and around the bottom of the Dragonfly's head...
that one part is the only flaw i see in an otherwise perfect image!
That's excellent! I can't make out if that's real dragon or if it's put in there. It could be either (but I'm vying for it being a real thing). Great concept of having it eye the dragonfly. Nice idea and execution.
