 While flying rc helicopters today, we seemed to draw the interest of dragon fly. He sat for long periods on the blades and paddles on several of our helis. While sitting on mine, I snapped a few shots with my crappy P&S. Not really still life but close enough for my work.

Is that a real fly? If so, I'm not sure hot it counts as still life. If not for still life, the idea itself is nice. No vote.

Nice reflection; lighting a little flat.

although you captured perfect details on that dragonfly, i'm not sure if it I can classify this shot as still life

Not sure if this is really still life, as insects do move, but good shot anyway.

ok, he/she is still, but this still doesn't work as a still life for me

I'm not sure this counts as "still life". On top of that, it isn't very interesting.

Unless the dragonfly is stuffed and mounted, I can't quite stretch my definition of still life to include one. Pretty good shot, however.
