I love those little bugs.
I always find it difficult to get them without getting a reflection of my camera and myself along with it..
Congrats on the high finish.
And fantastic for using something other than a butterfly..

Revisiting - and I still can't get over how beautifully you captured the reflection. Wonderful photo!

Well done Doc! I love the bokeh in this...amazing colour for minimal editing

You got a 9 from me and I still think it is about the best of this show (which was all in all a good challenge in terms of quality submissions IMO)

How did you get him to sit still? Is he frozen in ice?

I'm always a big fan of the circle bokeh, it gives photos such a magical quality. The legs of the skipper with your DOF really give this photo some nice depth. Excellent!

Wow. This is spectacular. Love the silky water and the glow around the tips of the legs. Awesome!

I like the bokeh, but wish the abdomen were also in focus. Lovely reflection.

very good detail, love the reflection, nice bokeh. DOF is a tad too shallow, crop at right is unfortunate

wow- really clear

Nice picture, IMO a distracting background. Great focus on the eye.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great capture of this busy little water skeeter as we call them, the reflection and bokeh background make this image above average. 8
