Wonderful, I really like the detail and the diagonal composition. That touch of blue on the sprinkler really brings out the rusty red of the dragonfly.

I got some pictures of dragonflies last weekend, that weren't so nice.

They were being held by my six year old grandson, after he had caught them. The ones he caught soon became fish bait.

But there were hundreds more to take their place.

mjbrock2012: Great photo. Hopefully during the week of the 15th of July, I will be able to get more intimate with my new SX50. They take amazing photos. I love mine.

Thanks for posting
