Got a Dragonfly :)

On my next visit to the Botanic Gardens I found this obliging fellow who posed nicely for quite some time





I've been having some trouble with Combine ZM so I wasn't able to post this version of a previous shot:



Cheers

Hi Dave, congratulations on the Dragonfly capture
I'm impressed with his eyes, especially in the second shot.

The water droplets on the fern look very sharp,
and I see you have a single coloured droplet,
or something coloured reflecting in that one droplet.

Great work Dave .... Skippy

Thanks for the comments folks.

I didn't notice that coloured drop till I was working on it in photoshop. I can't think of anything that could have been reflected in it so it must have been either from a coloured source (maybe a kid spilled a drink?) or the drop ha been tainted by something.

I was going for sharpness so I'm glad you noticed that, Skippy

Cheers
