Interesting to see two species, together , they could care less about one another, which is why I paid them each, one bug per each to pose, they found a good place to hang out , waiting for that special person to come along or else to pursue

Nice capture. To me I like the fact that the dragonflies are nearly the exact opposites in their colour distributions. like one is a negative image of the other. - MIchael

Nice job Brad! How lucky to get two of them sitting still at once. They are just different enough to make things interesting. Like a cup that matches with the saucer.

Déjà vu! Brad, I liked this in the Weekly Close Up and like it even more here in this competition!
