Child Photo Competition 2013 No 3 : Entry Number 530

Judges Comment

It's oh so quiet...shhhh!
When I have seen this photo for the very first time I felt that I need to be careful.
Every move, every sound could have interrupted this special and magic moment.
You captured a real fragile situation.
The curious glance of a child for the wonders of nature.....
Also a wonderful composition with light and shadow.
Congratulations to the Winner!! Chapeau!

I am honored by your words and your award. Thank you so much. I shot this image with a Canon 5D Mark II. This little boy was trying so hard and being so gentle trying to coax the dragonfly to fly out of the window as it was hovering and seemed stuck, not able to get out.
