My friend Jenna has a lovely pond in her garden and it hasn't gone unnoticed by dragonflies. This beauty could have chosen a slightly less busy background but he settled for quite a while so I can't complain too much!
lovely shot and details - is that one male, with the blue? fave.
I wondered about selectively colouring the last one I shot (it didn't go up) to simplify the background - but couldn't work out a way to do it that wouldn't send me mad
Isn't he just stunning? Those delicate wings & the brilliant turquoise flashes, they are a work of art ! I'm not sure about the life of a dragon fly but something tells me they only live 24 hours ...not sure if this is right , must check !! Great patience Judith & a steady hand !!
