An Interesting effect HK. Photoshop has a filter with a similar effect called tinny lens that I have experimented with. I also use to make a Mylar mirror out of foam-core and Mylar and take a photo of the reflection while someone positioned the mirror. It was rather tricky but got a few good shots.

i love this: it offers a mix of art, abstract, hi tech, nature, adventure, and perhaps some imagination from the viewer like an airplane about to drop its torpedo! great stuff! ;-))

Thanks Charles for the tip on the use of tiny lens as a texture option in the Distort Glass menu. Must play with that sometime.

Thanks Dee Vee for the highly descriptive comment. Yes, a dragonfly is built to prey. It was looking for a meal before "tucking in" for the night. Taking a picture of it while it was cruising fast, with occasionally split second hovering, was quite a challenge as the camera does not have a tracking radar. Focusing on the fly was hopeless. So I fixed the focus and hoped it fly within range. This was the best shot out of may be a dozen attempts.

HK I agree with all that have been said here but I would have like to see something sharp in the picture at least the head of the dragonfly would from my point of bring more strength to the picture Regards Paul

Thanks for the advice Paul. You are right about the sharpness of the dragonfly. I have re-posted the image after applying a light sharpening to it.

very creative H.K. The water colors look more like an ocean, and the dragonfly does remind one of an airplane. Maybe DV is right - but where is the torpedo? :-)

thank you for the clarification HK, very creative of you, an image to remember :D
