What can you do with a dragonfly. Any and all mods welcome. I posted the original and the other two just have some clarity, vibrance, saturation, and levels adjustment (and cropping on the last photo) through Camera Raw and CS6. No additional sharpness or other filters.

For the technical folks and those interested in the shooting specs and sharpness of the Tamron lens: Canon T4i, Tamron 150-600 at 600 mm, 1/200 sec, f6.3, ISO 200, tripod mount, mirror lockup, 2 sec self timer.

Emphasized the intricate structure in the wings, then gave it a jewel-like effect. Please view in download for best effect.

Such a great photograph, and the renditions that followed. I'm adding this one to the bunch. Chose a rose for the creature to land upon, masked the legs and then did a levels adjustment followed by Topaz Adjust Simplify at 60% over Topaz Adjust Vibrance. I thought it looked rather like a storybook illustration.
