Thanks. I burned the plant down as much as I could. I tried to clone but it didn’t look natural so I left it as best I could. You can see the shadow of the wings on the plant. Thanks for showing interest.
Gil: I can’t recall anyone posting a B&W dragonfly in a long time if ever. I very much like the graphic nature of the image and don’t mind the highlights at all. Nicely conceived, composed, captured and presented. >=))>
Thanks. I was lucky to get this image. He was flying and landed and I zoomed in and focus and prayed I had everything else close. Huge cropping in edit. I like the wings and reflection of the wings on the plant. Thanks for showing interest.
I understand how it seems a bit harsh. I’m pretty much a B&W photographer. I love contrast and lines and old school photography. Perfection is not the goal but create from a different vibe. Show another way. Thanks for showing interest. . Peace to the Planet.
Gil, I too don’t recall a dragonfly image in B&W before. Interesting take on it. I started out in B&W back in the 70’s so I do appreciate it. Your post is 5000 pixel on the long end and it is recommended to keep it 2000 or below I believe. When I brought it up in large view it wasn’t looking the good quality that I am sure you would like. Hard to see the details in it. Glad you are keeping B&W alive.
Thanks for showing interest. I was lucky to get what I got. He landed and I zoomed in and focus so fast. He was a long way away. I never see photography as perfect. Just a capture in time. A small image for my Photobook/Journal. Just to share my experience on the NPN is way to cool for an old man like myself.
