hope you all like this one..
heres another one
i prefer the firts pic 
The first is surely better from an artistic perspective, but the second would be more likely to be actually used somewhere, I'd think. (such as in a nature magazine)
no it wasnt used by any site or books.
i took these shot at Baybay,leyte,Philippines.
I didn't mean that it would be, just that's where I would expect to see something like that.
Very nice and colorful closeups. I like these a lot
ya nice picture and I like how the pic is clear at that close of a range.

I personally prefer the second one.. I think the blur on the edges makes it look really special..
So, jsabelino, thanx for sharing these pics with us (these one and the ones in the other threads) you're a great photographer.. btw, i love your display pic 
Wow that's really an amazing shot. I would think it is computer generated... Nice shot!
@ Che its all because of the camera .Thanks...
jsabelino, do you retouch your photos at all with per say Photoshop? Or is it all original shot. The colors are so amazing...
I am all about the second one. How big was the dragonfly?
Did you make it by photoshop?Very vivid and beautiful.
beautiful macro . !
i dont like the first one --> angle
the second one is a pure bliss ..
wonderful shots. . n do u have good butterflies in phillipines ?
we only have rare birds here in the jungles of bangladesh ( n tigers too )
Is that me, the dragonfly? Do I really look like that? haha just kidding...
Nice pictures.. the first one looks best to me too.
I like dragonflies from my childhood. However, I have never seen this beautiful dragonefly. The color is owesome!!

For some reasons I like close up of bugs~
Wonderful shots. I love the contrast and colors.
Magnificent jsabelino! Is it the same dragon fly on both pictures?
