Info The dragonfly is eating a bee, which is why he is not flying away off my finger. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charles (talk) 19:34, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support My! I thought these were vegetarians! Yann (talk) 20:58, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No way! They also eat other dragonflies. When you've lived underwater for a couple of years and only emerge and fly around for a few weeks, you better enjoy it. Charles (talk) 21:24, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Amazing view of the compound eye. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:02, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The description should be improved, IMO; it's a bit confusing to see what this is without knowing that the dragonfly is eating.--Peulle (talk) 14:27, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Moderate support Not perfect but I trust Charles' judgement here, and this is not the sort of picture you can just go out and take every day. Daniel Case (talk) 19:23, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm not convinced about DOF/sharpness. --Hockei (talk) 10:47, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
