The top part with the plants is well done, but the bottom part with the reflections just makes the shot, especially the little bits of grass sticking up. And certainly your pp brings it all together just perfectly.

A good flash can do wonders, especially indoors and bounced off the ceiling.

This is amazing!

It's a different point of view to an already beautiful creature.

it definately deserved a blue ribbon ^^

I am not a fan of bug pics lol. They just creep me out. And this one does too - but only because of the clarity and focus. It is so real! I love the balance of orange and yellow in this pic. Congrats on the top 10 in a FS!

Yay! Top Ten in FS!! Glad this made up for the - ahem - bird photo. This is the most awesome catch. Go to National Geographic and look around on their site for a way to submit incredible nature photos. I mean - I'm pretty sure that NONE of us have ever seen a dragonfly eat a fly. I didn't even know that flies were on their menu. In any case - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I love drama in the sky like this- using a panorama was brilliant to really show it at it's best. the dirt road & fence add a lot !

Excellent. Love that layer too. Great depth. Makes me think of a postcard you'd buy at a tourist stop. Seems birds are the theme today!

Well given how well you did in the Yellow Challenge it looks like you made the right call. Another outstanding macro and congratulations on the top ten placement.

Stunning sharpness

Superb work Roz! The overlay's given a real 'fluffyness' to his feathers.
