Well done! This has a bluish cast to it, but for this image, I think it adds rather than detracts from the photo.

Thanks for posting.

Welcome to NPN Guy. What a great perch to shoot this damsel on! The dew and the BG are great touches to the photo also.

Wauw! Incredible! The colors are stunning on their own, almost electric, and then those drops...

The damsels always looks so great covered in dew, and they make such good models because of the lower temps..Everything works here, I wouldn't change a thing..
Beautiful :toast: :toast:
