As you would say, "Out of this Universe"!! And it is!!
I have been shooting birds with dragonflies for a while now and I can tell you that this is about as it gets!!
Subject, light angle, pose, background, details and the perch are beautiful but the dragonflies profile position is priceless!!
Congrats on this one Clement, it would make a nice print.
