Looks like the one that landed in my husband's beer! He survived - hope this one did as well! Like the multi colors on his wings and the reflection in the water.

@Ina: At first I thought you meant your husband survived --which suggested that the bug didn't.

The colours are vibrant, he's lost in a sea of blue.

@JoeB: The wading pool had a blue liner.

poor bugger! but I like the image, it's one of those simple images that are really effective.

@bm: Thank you.

Amir from ?, Iran

Lovely capture, it's kind of unusual for your style of photography

@Amir: Well it's an old shot; but you're right, looking at it in context it seems a rather jarring departure.

Daroru from Amagasaki, Japan

A really nice close up. Surreal blue!

@Daroru: The pool had a blue liner --I probably wouldn't have taken the shot in the first place without a strong color underneath.

Great color and contrast. You're right - our shots are quite similar! Great minds think alike, huh?!
