The "cats eyes" in them are interesting and would really stand out with backlighting.

Yep, that's the camera, those wings are my macro ring mounted speedlights, I had them turned off for this shot and was just using natural light which is why you can see the whole room!

Beautiful landscape, but I agree with the light and the sky.

I really like this shot a lot, the effect of the water looks great. The dragonfly seems a bit washed out though. Still a beautiful shot. 8
