    Gorgeous, Jon. You don't often get dragonflies this nice on a perch that beautiful - lovely work! At first I thought the image felt a tad bit dark but now that I look at it I think I prefer it this way - all the colors (the blues and the burgandies) are the deeper tones so I'd leave it as is. (Others might not agree so let's see what they say.)

    Two thumbs up from me, though. Those wings are stunning with that tiny bit of lavendar in them.

    A beauty shot, Jon! The whole bug looks sharp as a tack and the colors are perfect. Well done!

    A great shot. Wonderful BG, great soft light and all of the damselfly is sharp. Can't be any better.
