A face only a mother could love.

I love his wings. One of them has severe damage, but it didn't slow him down. His face.....well....it's a little creepy to me.

LOL - yes definitely a creepy face, but gorgeous wings and a beautiful photo. I am still trying to get a good close-up of a dragonfly. They always make me think of my dad so they are special to me.

[Tabbycat]

Ooh, I think he's beautiful! His eyes remind me of those clear perspex helicopters from the '70s. You know? Like the one on that ABBA album cover?
Technically, this is such a great photo. Rule of thirds, great DOF, the simplicity. Stunning!

[Margaret Tryon]

@tabbycat Thanks Tabitha. I thought of a plane also. There were two flying together but they wouldn't pose at the same time.

[O Dono :D]

nice shot!! love the colors and pattern!

[Cheryl]

maybe the stunning wings are to detract your attention away from the face??

[Henriette Sparkes]

Brilliant shot, love the wings!
