Great pov! That flower looks huge! I agree with Denise. I thought it was a biplane flying over a tree.

This is wonderful. I first thought it was a plane on a tree. I like it even better that it is a dragonfly on a flower. How wonderfully creative. FAV

@kareenking ...hi Kareen...I look through the viewfinder to take shots and this flower was pretty small about 4 inches across and I was concentrating on getting the shot in focus...and didn't see the bug until later....surprise surprise...cheers

What a great shot John! Wonderful colors and silhouettes. Would have been a great shot without the bug but it's tremendous with it. FAV

Fantastic...fav for me.

This is sooooo amazingly cool! The orange background and the angle viewing up. Is that really a dragonfly? Something about it seems not right to be a dragonfly. Seems delicate and leg shape like a crane fly.whatever it is this is a great pic! Fav

Was the bug like this guys here? http://m.123rf.com/photo-11187628_crane-fly-or-daddy-long-legs-tipula-maxima-in-front-of-white-background.html

The reason I ask is that this one in your pic ... It seems like dragonflies have a double set if wings on each side but on yours there is only a single set. And this guys' body is tiny and curved at end. And his legs are delicate and shaped like a crane fly. I was just curious...

@espyetta ...hi MaryBeth yes i looked at the link and it looks like the crane fly ...it was about an inch and a half wide i guess and looks like only one set of wings too....good detective work and a gold star from me....cheers john

@tellefella That makes this more amazing...because crane flies are so small and delicate! Wow.

This came up on my "suggestions" page, and I, too, thought I was going to be seeing a plane. Lovely accident.... I had a similar one in my shot from last night where Orion appeared in the night sky of a long exposure.
