Sunset. Late August.
Chest-deep water, angle-viewer, monopod and... a lot of patience!

EOS10D, 4/500+1.4x, f/6.3, 1/1000, ISO 100.

USM, levels, sat.

Thanks for looking and commenting!

Excellent color, firey light, and composition- beautifully visualized.

Is this an egg laying pair of damselfies, plus another damselfy? Not dragonflies, I think.

Well this is cool! So engaging to look at and your patience has paid off Manuel. It does have a very strong sense of fire which I assume is do to the light conditions. I am not quite sure what is going on in the BG. It that a little waterfall or rocks underwater? This is a very dreamy and powerful semi-abstract in my opinion.

Very cool image. Your patience was very nicely rewarded. That is an interesting effect in the background.

Very cool shot. I really like the red color and the reflection of the top damselfly.

Mary, in the BG is only water with some waves due to evening breeze.
