Fantastic shot. Thanks to Technology.
I shall never see it with my bared eyes.
another macro shot totally nailed!
UNBELIEVABLE !
another cracker. good stuff amila.
What a beautiful beard!
Love the subtle shades - could never have been appreciated without the ultra-close-up.
Cheers!
What big eyes, you have, damsel!
And is that a nose or what?!
As Tabib says, cool beard too.
We would never see all this with the naked eye isn't it?
Thank you all!
No nose visible, flowergirl.
This is more than what meets the eye.
All I can say is "Wow"
Thank you, Lady divine!
Super macro work machng.
Thanks u4j10!
WOW! I don't guess I have ever seen one SO close up!!
I wonder why all damselflies look squint-eyed? They're still beautiful inspite of that (yes, beard and all)
Thanks Carla and Sunita.
It is a question worth investigating! The beard enhances their looks.
I am speechless...
What a shot!
Thanks, Andrea!
