Great dragonfly shot. It seems to depend on the species whether they'll let you get close enough to get a good shot or not.

Thank you all for seeing the lines from the Dragonfly's tail. Thank you for the good votes.

Absolutely stunning! I'm a real sucker for dragon fly pics, and this one doesn't fall short.

An outstanding capture. Quite a cooperative little bugger to stand straight and help the capture without leaning and imposing on the dof. I love it.

Excellent shot but, I don't really feel the leading lines here maybe my interpretation is too narrow.

Leading Lines....not sure if this qualifies....stretching it a bit maybe? Good shot nonetheless. 7

A very clear macro. The highlights in the wings are wonderful.

A week early for the macro challenge but this is very nice and the lines lead one to the insect's perching point without detracting from the actual subject

Outstanding picture. But I am not sure that the leaf qualifies as a leading line.
