Congratulations!

You have obviously set a new standard for shooting DPC Macros and in the end making the Macro challenges a lot more interesting. You are a valuable member to have around :) Very nice work and congratulations on keeping the bug alive :)

Wow, Jacko! This is awesome.

I can't believe you got a 2, 3 or a 4 for a vote. What losers.

This shot rocks! Congrats!

Holy smokes. I'm surprised by this one. Finished +7? I was only 6.85 when I went to bed ... looks like the systtem's "scrubber" worked in my favor.

Thanks for the great votes and comments guys.

Great shot. Nice hint of movement in the tail
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/04/2004 05:33:17 PM
obvious photographic excellence here especially with the crispness and shadowing that sets this way above the other dragonfly entries ... high marks from me ... ever think of adding
perhaps a little funky element to these pure nature pics ... might put these pics over the top in terms of the diversified dpc audience ... guess that depends on your personal dpc objective

Great photo, but it demonstrates more green than blue, it would be a great "green"-theme photo!
