This little chap amused me as he peeped over the reed, I hope he gives you a smile too.

Hey Michael, very cool and creative image. Love the DOF on the grass and good focus on the head.

First thing I thought of was "peekaboo!" I, too, love your DOF and it's nicely composed.

Very creative image Jon. Liked the way the OOF grass blade diffuses out. Tack sharp head.

Like the image a lot, Jon but I think I would like to see it occupy more of the frame. I think it could stand a crop.

This appeals very much to me, Jonathan, it's a different and rather daring approach, with the whole foreground oof. I love the way the leaf blur causes it to almost disappear in the lower righthand corner, I"d hate to see you crop that off....The damselfly is perfectly sharp, with gorgeous eyes, and I like that you can even glimpse her body through the leaf. The color palette is very pleasing too. I wouldn't change a thing here!
