The poetry of the earth is never dead. – John Keats

Fantatic! I don’t know how you capture these guys so clearly. Love the colors and the transparency of its wings.
GREAT capture. I really like the way some dragonflies always hold their wings straight out while some will often fold them forward like in this photo or even more so when they perch for an extended time.
I love to take in all the detail in this dragonfly. From it’s delicate wings, to it’s eyes, to the way it clings to the branch. The level of detail is amazing. Truly impressive photo.
I know dragonflies therefore I know this is one amazing photo! Incredible! I love the color and the sharpness.
beautiful detail, and colors.
Nicely done!
love the intricate details and the parallel lines (creature’s body, its tail and the branches) has made the photo even more mesmerizing.
Wow! The details are amazing. This would definitely be my dream photo.
Look at those wings, will you? God is amazing. I used to love going fishing with my dad. Dragonflies would always land and rest on my toe. Loved studying them then. Love studying them now.
