A fascinating concept piece, and well executed. Only constructive input I might make would be to use the same golden color of the wings for the bug's body. As it stands he's not bright enough to catch the eye, but his wings do, and they become the primary focal point of the piece, not the moon. But his dark body is almost hidden, which disappoints. It of course depends on what you want from this. If the moonlight itself, or its reflection, is to be the main idea, then maybe even dimming down the wings might work better. But I like the strong gold against the watery blue image, myself, and using it as the primary idea here is at least worth investigating. Either way, I do like this.

Hi Randy, thank you for your input! I like the idea of gold body, and I'm thinking I am either going to add another pair of wings to make this a "true" dragonfly, or I'm going to look back through older photos for another.

I appreciate your feedback very much.

Very nice, Linda. The sharp insect against the "abstract" water makes the image.
