i went for a walk on the firetrail this morning .. up the top there was this dragonfly darting all around .. i stood there for ages waiting for it to land .. at least five minutes, which is a long time for me!! .. it landed a couple of times but not for very long ... each time i moved, very slowly, to get close enough to photograph him he flew away .. then he'd came back .. he was teasing me .. katee scared him away after i took about four photographs when he stopped & let me get a bit closer ..
i used three other photographs as overlays that i took yesterday when we were driving home in the rain .. two looking thru the windscreen and one of the side mirror ..
i changed the colours of them in my raw program ..
if anyone wants to use them here they are ..

I'm not a big fan of bug macros, but you've done a good job of making this one more interesting. The pose of the bug is weird and different, and the overlays definitely help. The wings get a little lost since they're the same color as the two overlays; maybe make the blueish one a little stronger?

This is a nice macro to begin with. I like that you can see the little hooks on the "foot." Bumble bees have those too, but this is the first time that I have noticed them on a dragonfly. The overlay PP does add interest to the image.

I don't mind bugs ! What I like about this is the the delicate wing showing in such great detail and the mellow colors. Oh yes, the overlay enhances ! :)
