I likey the shot. Is that an insect on one of the leaves? Was it intentional to leave it there?
If no why not remove. If yes, ignore :)

I live near a rather large river, so one morning I went down to the end of the road I live off to take a picture of the full moon setting on the water just before dawn. I shot only the reflection on the water using some weeds as foreground. When I had the film developed, I noticed I had been able to capture a sleeping dragonfly on one of the tall weeds. Nice surprise.

The image is good on its own but with the dragon fly as well I think it promotes it to a higher level of art....a great shot.
For a 3 second exposure its real crisp.
Excellent capture of this mmon set,tthe insect add to the composition. welol done!
Real nice!
The overall effect of your depth that you used is excellent.
Simple, powerful, calming, ... very nice!
Beautiful shot....simple but very effective.
Suby, I think you're funny :)
Micky, I loved the dragonfly, and the tone/mood of the shot.
What a great accident- the dragonfly definitely catapults this already stunning shot to a new level.
Wow. Great shot. The moon looks so great in this shot!
Really cool image. Catching the dragonfly is what makes this shot for me.
Hi, from a fellow film shooter!
Beautiful rich colors and a great atmosphere. I love shots like this. Looking forward to seeing more.
Really cool shot. The dragon fly makes it for me.
cool shot....beautiful sillhoulette:-) wt a nice dradonfly
My favourite captures are those which surprise me. Hey ....I don't rember to shoot that... Or Hey ....what the hell is that.
Cool. I love the way the moon came out in this, and the drangonfly and silhouette of the grass are great. What are the horizontal lines in the image?
beautiful... it's so sensitive...
Oh, wowowowowow! what a gorgeous image!! Very nicely done.
cool shot through the reeds or whatever that is. Nice effect and color.
I think I can see a dragonfly? At first I thought I was looking at a curtain! cheers
He,he... I also thought it was a curtain with a spotlight! Then my eyes adapted to the darkness and I spotted the dragonfly!
It was fun ! :-)
I like the shape of the moon. Also, the grain of the film adds to the photo--something I do miss since I'm now completely digital.
Stunning image :) Beautiful and poetic.

Your image has an oriental flava to it, I feel. The dragonfly is indeed a wonderful occuring accident that creates a breezy, rustling in the wind reeds, type of scenario, painted of course with a Japanese influence.
very nice effect; like the dragonfly (?) just adds something to the image.
Very intersting shot, composition, and effect. Really great work. -Brent
What a nice unexpected visitor :)
..really beautiful.. :)
This one is just great. I'm sure the original is so much better too! I guess it's time for a better scanner :)
Back to the photo...that light in the background is so intriguing. I'm not sure if it's a streetlight, the moon, car headlights...very cool. I did look closer, and I see the little fellow hanging on. If only the scan were better...
