Default VERY different for me... but I think I like it :)

I know I mostly post portraits and such, but I thought I would try my hand at something a little different. I was around the most beautiful dragonflies this weekend. I already posted a couple of shots in the post " My What Big Eyes You Have!!!". With this one I stepped out of the box and got really artsy with the pp. Hope you like it!

It's good to venture into something that is out of the comfort zone. Very nicely done

Very interesting.....looks almost like an xray...the white spots on the tail look as though they are completely clear and transparent as though you could see right through it.
