Close-up of a fragonfly is the best picture! Awesome.
Posted by Diana Moya on April 2,2008 | 05:44AM
Incredible picture...
Posted by Sandy Stephenson on April 2,2008 | 07:51AM
What an awesome picture. The eye is so dramatic and the wing shot is so clear. You can see the individual hairs on his body. Outstanding quality.
Posted by Dan Foster on April 2,2008 | 07:54AM
This picture is very unique in the fact that the opportunity to get the chance to photo is so short. The color of the eye is outstanding and the wings are so clearly depicted. Very nice shot.
Posted by Karla Foster on April 2,2008 | 07:56AM
Not only is this an awesome picture, but the dragonfly actually posed for this picture. I can tell by the smile on his face.
Posted by Marty Martin on April 2,2008 | 08:55AM
Ohh, great picture. Those little buggers don't sit still for too long to have their picture taken. Good job, Mark. I'm voting for *you* to win this competition. WOW.

Amazing picture......never realized they had such emormous eyes.......fantastic.

WOW !!! How did you get the dragonfly to pose for you? awesome picture.
Posted by nancy on April 2,2008 | 10:26PM
I`ve got a weakness for dragon flys, and this image is one of the coolest I`ve seen in ages. Definitely a winning shot!!
Posted by Billyboy Funk on April 2,2008 | 11:55PM
You captured a great expression on the bug's face. Love it, Mark!
Posted by Maria Dryfhout on April 3,2008 | 07:12AM
Not only is this an awesome shot, but the dragonfly enjoyed posing for the picture as seen by the smile on his face.
Posted by Marty Martin on April 3,2008 | 08:56AM
I love dragonflies. Wonderful close up. What an expression on it's face.
Posted by Kaye Burlason on April 3,2008 | 11:06AM
Wow! He looks like a monster with that great big green eye staring back at me! What an amazing shot!
Posted by Jenni on April 3,2008 | 12:13PM
What a wonderful shot. Wish I could have done this one.
Posted by Pat Brownlie on April 3,2008 | 12:32PM
I didn't know dragonflies smiled!!!!!!
Your Mom is right on ...........you are an artist with the camera!

What an incredible reminder of the beauty in creatures so tiny and moving so fast. Thank you!
Posted by Charlotte Pusey on April 4,2008 | 02:23PM
Brilliant shot
Posted by alistair mcbride on April 4,2008 | 07:32PM
The depth of field in this is incredible! This is a truly amazing photo, worthy of a win. Congratulations, Mark!
Posted by Sue Helm on April 5,2008 | 08:25AM
Mark, this is so beautiful! When I first looked at it I thought it looked like a cartoon. I mean --really-- do Dragonflies really smile? For the camera?
I'm really impressed that you didn't use any special lenses. I'll be creeping around in my back yard now with my digital looking for creatures such as this.
Thanks for a treat.
Diana
Posted by Diana Capehart on April 5,2008 | 08:32AM
I was surprised how you can see the clouds through the wings. Awesome photo!
Posted by Kirsten on April 6,2008 | 07:29PM
Excellent timing. Given that the dragonfly appears to have been in motion, either in the process of arriving or departing, the detail is remarkably clear.
Posted by Gregory Atkins on April 7,2008 | 05:48AM
WOW! Almost looks like some kind of a pixar animation! How amazing that you caught that naturally. Great job.
Posted by judson on April 7,2008 | 03:43PM
Sure wish my digital could do this well. You must have really snuck up on the little critter. Wonderful, awesome, and how did you get it to sit still long enough to snap? You are certainly the winner for this photo. Good luck.
Posted by Mary Forster on April 7,2008 | 11:56PM
