FRAGILE


I think dragonflies are actually a little creepy which contrasts with the fragile appearance of their wings.

  1. In real life, I like them fine because they eat the mosquitoes that pester. But when I see them magnified in photos, I find them creepy. Yours less so because we're not seeing the buggy eyes. I really like the composition, with the wings at a bit of a diagonal and also the great contrast between the post and background. Really nice shot!

  3. I think they're one of the coolest things on earth--ancient and fierce and delicate. Your photos does them justice!

  4. Very nice. I like how one wing is hanging off the fence, so you can see through it. Did you train him to do this? :-D

  5. I'm with Bobbie, they are amazing things and this is a fine shot.
    Maybe you believed that thing about them sewing up your lips.
