You caught a lot of exceptional detail here and some of his beautiful colours shine through too. Well done!

From a distance it ljust look like a bump on a branch. The bump look to me enough bizzare so I came closer to check and took the shot.

Description
For the beautyness of the dragonfly wich colour blend well with the branch it's on and the texture of the bark. Notice - what appears as tiny straight lines grooves on the bark under the dragonfly is the shadow of the wings bones.
