    This is awesome! Love how you can see the depression in the water where the abdomen enters, the soft but complete reflection of the entire scene above the water surface, the details on the damselfly! In addition to capturing a special behavioral moment here, this has an ethereal quality that makes one feel the art and beauty of nature.

    Fecundity personified. Nancy articulated nicely the specifics.
