    A 3D version would reveal many details in this subject.😀

    Very colourful species!
    Alas all our dragonflies / damselflies have disappeared for the winter...

    How's Bryan? Is it very cold in winter in your region?

    I see some bees with pollen all over them and maybe a few smaller balls. This one seems a lot more organised...

    There is a lot going on here but it's camouflaged so you have to look at it closely, at full size. It's not macro, it's kind of like spider street photography.

    Wow, no wonder they are so successful as hunters...

    Those images with so many overlapping layers work great for your 3D images…

    Bryan is suffering from not too many photo opportunities - favourite subjects disappeared, not even many birds and even though the rainy autumn has gone, still many overcast days 😔
    Not too cold. Not snow temps but getting down to frost temps - it can be mild then suddenly pretty cool...

    This is not really interesting in terms of detail captures (it was taken with a reversed projection lens after all 😉) but it is quite close and was intended for people to guess what it is:

    Given the shapes and the tangled, flowing appearance, can be cooked noodles with some dramatic lighting and color manipulation. The translucent, glossy look could come from the noodles’ surface catching light, and by changing the color to grayscale or blue tones, they look completely abstract and organic.😁

    Good guess. The image is almost SOOC though, so no drastic color manipulation in post. The thing shown is golden originally, but because of lighting and the lens properties (I've used a projection lens reversed to capture this) that color doesn't show up in the original at all, only some slight abberations. It's not noodles however.

    By the way, looking at its front, it seems that this specimen has had some unpleasant encounter...

    Impressive captures. Looks like it has a hole in its head. How can it function like that?

    Looks really cool in 3D. With wind I have a tough time getting one shot in focus. Stereo seems even more difficult. Great work.

    Very mysterious. Reminds me of broken wires. It almost looks like it was shot in fog. Doubt that is true.

    Is it some form of plant emerging out of water?
