I don't know how you ever found this and made such an amazing photo of it- what a wonderful "face", if that's what it is.

. Love the colors and textures-bordering on the abstract. If you hadn't told us, I might have guessed any number of things, like some sort of monkey face.

. fun!

Amazing colour and detail Andre! Enough to give me nightmares - then I saw the little 'smile' and it made me smile too!

Andre, nice work with the macro gear to pull this off. The detail is very good and fractalius emphasizes it. The color and texture are a plus. I find a smaller, smiling face within the confines of this dragonfly head - very cool. I would think you might make this a poster? Good job!

thanks gary!
actually its doable when freezing action with flash ! i shot abut 15 images and kept two, the rest went to the bin....
with natural light and tripod it would be a whole different story
