An interesting looking beastie Maggie but the composition on this one doesn't really do it for me I'm afraid.

Great piece of stem, shame about the dragonfly. :biggrin: :wink: Only joking, I like the conflict between the straight lines of the wings, abdomen and stem standing out against an excellent BG.

Hi Maggie,

I also agree about the composition, but other than that a great find and a lovely image with good detail. :wavey:

Allowing for the comp this is a good shot, Sandra. Lovely detail, nice colours and depth of field. :toast:
