Image Description

There are number of different dragon flies that hang around an area by the Yakima river. Until recently it has been so windy hat have been difficult to get a good photograph. It let up some and I was able to snap a couple shots before it started blowing again.

It is a bit busy, but that is where this one decided to settle for a few seconds.

Pertinent Technical Details

Wow, gorgeous detail - especially in the wings, which is very tough to get. Perfect POF.
I wish that horizontal stem weren’t there, but it would be very difficult to remove.
Really beautiful!

Thank you Sandy. I think I should have darkened the bright area in the lower right. I just posted it with that change.

Yes, better - I missed that!

Jim: Classic dragonfly shot carried off really well. Exceptionally good plane of focus and DOF management IMO. :+1: :+1:>=))>

Bill, Thank you.
