I've been wanting to post this for a long time. Conventional (rather, my normal) photo touchups didn't seem to work. I couldn't get anything I was truly happy with. This is actually an HDR image and I'm very happy with it now. I used to think the shot was "too busy" but my opinion changed. I now feel like it's just so complex, there's so much to see. I actually found myself just sitting and staring at it for awhile. But then, I'm odd. The red dragonfly was awesome. This is as close as I could get unfortunately. So this represents mother nature to me. The complexity, dare I say beauty (a word I don't often use). I guess it could make up for a completely sucky day stuck in a cubicle. The HDR was created with Photomatix.
