I don't have high hopes for this one, but I like it so im submitting.

I was on the ground when I took this, the plants are taller than they look. :)

Ohh yeah this is not a duotone, this are all the natural colors ;)

Great shot. It sheds a new light on my perspective of dragonflies. He looks like a little man with wings!

Fantastic. Well spotted and superbly captured. I wonder if the DNMC swing in the votes comes from the fact that while it's obviously from the ground, it may miss a bit on the 'up' part of things...

I like it though.

Lovely, graceful image. This would have also worked well for the Zen challenge.

Radiance ... is my one word to describe this wonderful image. The muted backdrop is the perfect compliment to the glowing dragonfly and sun-kissed stalks of plant-life. I'd go for a ten except I don't really get a strong impressivion of "from the ground up", this is more "low and straight-on". Good luck, an awesome image like this will still do well IMO. 8

This is a ncie image but does give me the feeling 'from the ground up' (MHO)

The post processing of this image is magical. Maybe not the strongest From the Ground Up perspective but wow. Bumping to a 9.

I like the photo but something about it makes me think it's not a real dragonfly...I'm probably wrong though. I like the colors and focus.

Very pleasant duotone? IMO. This does make a dragonfly photo stand out. 8.
