OMG! <---- And I NEVER say that! I always say OM GOSH!

Val, If this doesn't go GOLD!!!!

Anyway - - - It is the BEST macro I've ever seen of a bugs face. I didn't know dragonflies have lips. :D And he looks like a gold fish too. It's like a MICRO not MACRO. (Maybe it is??? Hee Hee...I'd love a MICRO lens).

GOOD LUCK WITH THIS IMAGE! I REALLY HOPE IT GOES TO THE TOP!

I should've added a description, LOTW...this is a damselfly who just happened to land next to me while I was laying on the ground taking photos of a flower....I just slowly turned my lens towards him and snapped the pic. I do believe he was eating something at the time....which I'd rather not think about! lol! #10857156
