Nice! So detailed, and great background. Really like the pose! Those legs!!

It actually looks like it's looking at you too...

fantastic image. i love the way the legs are creeping like that, which really kick off the feeling that the eye is looking at us. this imediately made me think of the pink panther.

Hello Matt.

Cracking image and agree with all the comments but I would like to add its the composition that makes this for me, the way the damselfly just fills the frame nicely.

Well done.
