Ain't nobody gonna take your blue away from you. :-) Nice 'different' shot!

Bug on Daisy

The only part of the bug that appears to be in good focus is the black ridge along the top. Usually macros do best if the eyes/head/front are all in perfect focus.

Little Blue

Love the blue and the constrasting yellow (those two colors always work well together). The one thing that, for me, would have made this image stronger would have been to look at the dragonfly from the front. Good luck!

For me... not close enough. Was hoping for closer to a macro shot. Also, the water droplets feel a tad oversharpened.

That's the strangest eye I've ever seen. Nice shot. Like the angle and the sharpness. Good luck!

For me... it's not enough of a "close-up" for this challenge. I was hoping to see closer to macro.

Nice buggy, buggy. Don't eat me! :-)

Excellent sharpness on the antennae and eyes. Nice contrasting color and the BG as well. Good luck!

Hey Laurie, I knew this had to be you! I don't know what it's doing down in the 80th place, but I thought it was great. I wondered if, being a wedding shot, might have skewed my perspective a little... still, I loved how the lines from the chairs, the petals, even the "lighting" appeared to guide me right straight in to the couple and then "bam" there they were. Awesome shot!

My vote for a top-5 finish. Good luck!
