Love it in b&w. I would never have seen the wonderful potential for b&w in a dragonfly photo. You must be the dragonfly whisperer. I can never get photos of flying things fast enough. :)

I have never seen a dragon fly photo in b& w and this is just beautiful! Excellent composition.

FAV. I don't know how you got this to stand like that. Incredible lowkey shot. Outstanding.

[Jill]

@snipsnap Thanks Ramona!
@kendra84 Thank you Kendra!
@herussell Hehe - dragonfly whisperer - I like it!! Thanks Hope!
@dishaparekh176 Thanks Disha! I might not have tried b & w if it hadn't been for the low-key theme - I love it when something makes me think outside the box :)
@cdonohoue Thanks Cathy! I just followed him around, sneaking up on him as best I could!

[Caroline]

I like this in b&w a lot.

[Sean O'Neill]

What an incredible shot Jill. Excellent in B+W too.
