Motif #1

Comment by SaraR:
I like your simple title - suits the image. That said, of course, I don't know which aspect of the composition is motif Mk 1 - I look forward to seeing it reappearing in subsequent challenges. The focus seems a tad soft, either through a too shallow depth of field, through a lack of sharpening on resizing, or through having to save at too low a resolution to meet the 1200px limit. I do rather wish that the reflection had a bit more contrast - some selective masking would have helped with that, but its your image, and your choice.

So cool... sure don't get these creatures where I am from (or at least I have never seen one)... love the pink on the wings.

A well composed interesting photo. Lacking in the fine detail for a high score, but nonetheless interesting and well presented.

Love the simplicity of the composition, and, of course, the light and bokeh.

Dang it! I got 2 out of 3 predictions correct. Sorry yours didn't get quite to the top. It was one of my top picks. Thought this was spot on for the challenge. I've been there years ago, in the same scenario as these two, fishing with a buddy ... and I've seen it time and again with my son and his friends.

I thought this would do better - it was in my top 5. Good technics and sot on for the challenge.

Nice. The body language is utterly believable.
