  Put me down with Michelle and Carolyn, Rachel. This is as good a macro of a damselfly as I have ever seen. What incredible detail, light, color and depth of field! Beautiful and a favorite.

  Thank you all for the lovely comments. This is my favorite photo I have ever taken so its lovely to see you all like it to. I thought the bee entitled "freeze frame" in this catogory would at least get a gold but that didnt either.... Back to the drawing board !!

  Well, you were robbed! This should have gone way beyond finalist and POTD! It's just simply outstanding. I guess they had blind judges last month.

  Wow, truly amazing. I would have thought Grand Winner too, definitely more than finalist! I'd resubmit, but kind of hard to do that after getting a POTD, I guess?
