Today I was fortunate to witness a green darner emerging.    It took approximately an hour for this to happen.   The nymph was surprisingly quite a bit smaller than the adult.

Thanks for looking

Fine shot of this behavior, the wider macro lends an immediacy to the result I think.

I am yet to see this action in person. May be some day. Very well captured and the newness can be seen in the shine on its body like the paint on a new car.

Excellent image - the wide perspective gives it a special look.
