Hi Matt,

Superb detail!

Cracking detail once again Matt, just wonder a bit about the foot that's poking out on the left hand side of the stem?

I'm a cloning heretic though

Hello Matt.

You,ve just reminded me how many more of these I have to process from earlier in the year.

Great shot with plenty of detail.

I think I would lose the broke part of the leg, as it pulls my eye from the main part of the dragonfly. Just me and if you like it then ignore me.

thanks Guy, I agree it would neaten up the image.
