 Getting this in just before the deadline.

Hey! Haven't seen fourth for a little while. The dragonfly here is quite alive and sitting on a little Japanese Maple in my backyard. Editing is nothing but vibrance and contrast and cropping.

Amazing macro shot Jason. How did you ever get one of these guys to sit still for this? The detail is great, especially the water drops on the eyes. Congrats on the HM.

Startling high macro image. Lovely coloration too. I don't get nearly this quality with my macro images. I'm wondering if this is Jason's entry.

Blue eyes, blue ribbon? My guess it'll take a ribbon. Great detail in the water droplets on the eyes and terrific colors. Looks like the work of Achoo.
