 Missed focus on the dragonfly and when opened up this photo on the computer, realized there were fish in the water below. There was a lot of trash on the surface and clouds reflecting also.

If this was an oops, it is a good one!! I like that big ol' carp on the left gonna suck that bug into his mouth! Great Job, or Darn good mistake which ever applies!

This is a cool photo, looks like the fish on the far left is about to eat the dragonfly. I wonder if this could have looked a little better with some tighter crop, so it was more evident that the dragon fly was the main subject.
