Here's the story behind the Grand Prize Winner and Nature Winner photo of the Dragonfly:

SPLASHING: This photo was taken when I was taking photos of other insects, as I normally did during macro photo hunting. I wasnt actually aware of this dragonfly since I was occupied with other objects. When I was about to take a picture of it, it suddenly rained, but the lighting was just superb. I decided to take the shot regardless of the rain. The result caused me to be overjoyed, and I hope it pleases viewers. Batam, Riau Islands, Indonesia (Photo and caption by Shikhei Goh)
