Wind & the Pennant

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted January 9, 2015165 views5 comments

Friends of ours have a nice farm pond that Jenny takes the dogs for water rescue training. While the Newfs are jumping off of boats and doing crazy things big dogs love to do, I try to get dragonfly shots. Unfortunately, it was quite windy on that day, but I could not resist a calico pennant perched on Equisetum.

Excellent, Jim. Terrific pose on the reed, and a really nice contrasting brownish/greenish color scheme throughout the image. The DF stands out beautifully from the clean bg.

It doesn't look like the wind caused much problem - tack sharp and a beautiful pose!

The details in the df and in it's perch are great, Jim. Getting the red stigma to show so well is a nice touch.
