Minghui says:
‘In the Lotus Garden of East Lake in Wuhan, a blue-eyed dragonfly rests on a small lotus head. The lotus leaf in front obscures the chaotic environment below.

I took a low position and shot with a large aperture. Both the blue eyes of the dragonfly and the ‘eyes’ of the lotus are united in their gaze.’
