 Your hands lie open in the long fresh grass, -
The finger-points look through like rosy blooms:
Your eyes smile peace. The pasture gleams and glooms
'Neath billowing skies that scatter and amass.
All round our nest, far as the eye can pass,
Are golden kingcup-fields with silver edge
Where the cow-parsley skirts the hawthorn-hedge.
'Tis visible silence, still as the hour-glass.
Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragon-fly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky: -
So this wing'd hour is dropt to us from above.
Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,
This close-companioned inarticulate hour
When twofold silence was the song of love.
Silent Noon ~ Dante Gabriel Rosetti

This seems so much more understated than many of the dragonfly photos I've seen recently, definitely much more elegant. Wonderful light and tones. Great photo!

Beautiful detail and color on the dragonfly. I like the bokeh in the background very much. Don't hate me for saying I wish the composition was more interesting. Maybe putting the dragonfly more in the corner and making use of the interesting diagonal lines (stick, wing, tail) to define the space and lead the eye better. 7 from me.

The foggy looking bokeh makes the shot.
