LOL. This came up in the random photo thread. Very cute. Before I read the name I thought he looks like he is smiling about to do something. I love the way he is holding on to the branch.

Looks very similar to some of the images that I have taken, but I would have shot different exposures also and this one would have gotten deleted due to the washed-out highlights. Better than average quality.

It is smiling! I've seen a few other photos on here that captured an almost human (although ugly) face. Great photo.

That does look like a smile! :D Good capture - overexposed branch is distracting.

Nice detail on the dragonfly! It looks like the light might be too strong - but otherwise a nice shot

Nice pose and composition, but a bit overexposed. I find these critters' heads look out of focus even when they are in focus - I think its the eyes and hairs. Nice catch.
