A bachelor Halloween pennant on territory perched on an equisetum plant. I toned down the highlights a tad. I used Topaz Denoise AI and Topaz Adjust for enhancing the details on the dragonfly’s body.
A beautiful capture, Jim. such details in the DF, and wonderfully soft green background to make him and his perch stand out. I am seeing some kind of spots (not sure if dust bunnies or something in the air) on some of the background. Otherwise, a very nice image.
Hi Shirley,
I hunted the dust bunnies and found quite a few of them. I need to clean that sensor. Here’s a repost of a cleaner version. Thank you for finding the DB’s…Jim
Looks great, Jim. Great detail and color.
Hi Jim, wonderful details and fine, realistic colors. Nice of this species to prefer high perches. Well done!
Jim: A great catch and exceptionally good after the clean up. Really good DOF management especially. >=))>
Jim, this is a great look at this Halloween pennant. Getting it on the equisetum shows the wetland habitat. Getting reasonable sharpness on the red pterostigma adds a nice touch. In live viewing, I hadn’t noticed the redness of the wing veins, so I’ll be on the lookout.
