I just recently photographed the blue eyes of a dragon fly with my wee little digital camera and had been trying to ID it. I accidently came across your amazingly detailed photo and just now signed up as a member so I could comment to you how impressed I am with it!
The one I photographed had unfortunatly been hit by a car and was dead.
It's just amazing that this one allowed you to get so close and held so still for you!

Now THIS is what I called up close and personal!! I'm always amazed at those who can get such a closeup of such a small creature, and capture it with such clarity!! And the colors are awesome! The eyes look as if they have a mesh screen over them! Hey, I didn't know these guys grew beards-look at all that hair on the face--what detail!!! I can certainly see why this is on the top 100 eyerank list, and getting really close to #1!! Well deserved!!
