This is a much nicer photo. You would have benefited from using a fill in flash, so the background wouldn't be so blown, (too light)

Not sure of an artificial dragonfly is on theme, but assuming it is, I think you could have got a better angle as this one wasn't about to fly away. Perhaps you can re-shoot.

That sounds just great, unfortunately we have the worlds toughest customs when it comes to food imports. Being a small island away from everything we are scared of getting any type of bugs. Appreciate the offer, but I will have to wait till I get to Europe. What are they called?

a wonderful capture of the splash, not to sure about the background colour, it takes something away from the colour of the liquid.
If you have photoshop, try 'Autocolor.
Good luck

Author, I can see where you are coming from, but I'm not sure it works. Your photo has got the look of an old faded photo.
