First time, Dragonflies!

[ajgauthier]

hiya - I've been inspired to post these given the recent popularity in dragonflies. By chance, got these 2 captured at Tower Hill Botanical Gardens in Massachusetts while on vacation. I'm amazed at the detail that one can get in their wings! (oh, and unsharp mask :D )

adding to the dragonfly collection...

I like those flies! Especially the second one, as Ben said: different.

The first one is really pretty! Thanks for posting them.

Neat! Personally, I like the first one better than the second... has good composition, great colors, excellent backround. The second seems a bit sharp. Keep up the good work!

Nice BUGS! Love the colors on the first one. :clap:clap
