I was going through some older images when I found this one.
Cloned out some sensor dust and evened out the background colors.
TK's luminosity masks were used to help with contrast.

Nikon D300 w/105mm Micro Nikkor
1/8sec. f/16 ISO 400
Tripod

Thanks for looking.

Very nice capture Joel. Love the waterdrops on the DF. Great job on the dof getting the whole body sharply focused.

Good find. This is a good clean capture. I wonder how they support all that weight of the water, especially on the wings?

Joel:
You must be out pretty early to catch this dragon with all these dewdrops. Nice capture of this handsome DF. Color and contrast are great. Wish the brown leaf did not cut across the abdomen of the DF. Excellent image
