Thank you everyone for all your nice comments, very glad that my work is appreciated by flickr "masters of photography" :)

And yes, I think another reason I love this shot, coz it seems like it's really smiling and posing for me.

Size wise, told you it was a giant dragonfly!

This is a gorgeous shot! Dragonflies are so fun to take pictures of because it can be so hard to get a good one since they move too fast. It seems you've got it under control though. :p

Excellent photo. Looks like his little "chin" is resting on his "arms" as he looks up at you. Detail, focus and color are fabulous.
