thankyou Beverly, am surprised to get a comment on the dragonfly jewel pic, as it's an "oldie" pic now so doesn't get comments very often : )

Alandra - your work is one of those artists I zeroed right in on. Dragonflies are ethereal 0 and tis one's truly awesome and beautifully presented. Thank you for sharing it.

I have to comment on this one. It is so good I can hardly think of anything to say. I think it is the best insect photo I have ever seen.

thanks, Mary and Deb. am pretty happy with it, since I've lost the manual for the new camera and am "flying by the seat of my pants", LOL. we were in a state of amazement when we looked for the first time at the large images, esp at the "jewel" between the wings, and the wings themselves, as you mention. to say nothing of the huge turquoise coloured eyes !!

A beautiful, clear photo. Those wings are so detailed :)
