Well I'm in kind of an artistic slump and can't think of what to add to this. Any ideas? Should I leave it?

maybe you could change it to a downward angle, with the moon reflecting of a pond surrounded by grass and reeds and mud and rocks and stuff like that, maybe with a fish just barely visible under the water about to come up and eat it

eat the dragonfly, that is, not the moon

I never knew dragonflies came out at night. Thought they were mid-day, sun-loving creatures. See, you learn all sorts on this forum. Just did a search and came up with this website. WOW - if you go to this page [dragonfly flight times](http://www.habitas.org.uk/dragonflyireland/times.htm) you can click on to get a photograph of each type. They're amazing!! They just don't look real. Have a quick butcher's at this one.... [Coenagrion lunulatum](http://www.habitas.org.uk/dragonflyireland/5609.htm) it just looks like it was dreamed up by someone who was good at modelling cylinders lol

I love dragonflys, they're non-agressive, fun to watch and photograph, and they eat a heck of a lot of nasty, bitey-bugs,lol. Say Pog, you didn't warn us that the Coenagrion lunulatum site was so pornographic! Sure that damselfly is a gorgeous and unreal looking creature, but that page is so perverse!

I thought it was just MY dirty mind, but evidently not! lol edit to add - aren't the wings fantastic? They look like a wireframe render.

Yeah, especially that last line in the key identification features that says "Both sexes should be examined in the hand to confirm the identification"! Perverse I tell ya.;-)

Non agressive? A dragon fly nearly took my finger off! Oh, looks great =).
