    Wow, that's so very lovely (despite the fact that it makes me want to hand that dragonfly a wee bitty towel) ... I wish I could take photos like that!

    Beautiful! I can only imagine what it would be like if water stuck to us like that too!

    That is incredible! I think dragonflies are amazing anyway just see in flight... but this is something else!

    That dragonfly must have a killer migraine, with all those extra random lenses over its eyes.

    it took me a second to understand what i was seeing on this one- the colors and optical distortion caused by the water droplets refracting are so surreal and cool!

    this Reminds me of how much it stinks to wake up when your camping to figure out that you are covered in dew. I don't think i would ever look as cool as this little guy though.

    That looks so cool! Good thing that little guy didn't freeze with all that on him.
