I've never seen a Calico Pennant take on these colors - I guess part of it comes from the vegetation and the way the lighting is hitting it? Either way, nice photo

William - I enjoy your work so much. Your presentation of subject and background is just superb. It's so hard to get all the elements to work, and this is another masterful example of how it's done. Stunning.

Very pretty dragonfly. Nice detail in the DF and I like the slightly OOF BG while still showing the plant. Nicely positioned.

Looks like nice detail on the pennant and the artistic blur to the background make this very unique for a close up. :toast:

Luke this calico is a juvenile so the coloration hasn't matured yet.

Congratulations on the weekly pick! The clarity and detail of this dragonfly is just amazing and the variety is unusual, at least to me. Again, congratulations on a super image. :toast:
