A dragonfly perched atop an unopened lotus bloom.

The lotus flower has many powerful meanings in the Buddhist religion. For example, an unopened lotus symbolizes beings who have not achieved enlightenment; however, when the Buddhist teachings begin to grow inside of them, the flower opens and one becomes enlightened. This is why the Buddha sits on a lotus in bloom. Different colored lotus flowers have their own separate meanings.

The pink is the lotus of all lotuses. It is supreme and reserved for the highest deities. This is the traditional lotus of the historical Buddha. (Wikipedia)

Hello danilo,
This is a fine double capture... the flower and the insect!
Hard to decide wich one is the main attraction, that's why I choose to see them as two sides of the same matter...
Well done close-up, great details and attractive colours!
Greetings,
