Hi Guys,

Besides the shot i posted earlier on i also got several shots with just one Banded Darter in the frame. Liked this one because of the sun rising behind the Darter.

Beautiful detail, Jeroen.

I do wonder how this would look in B/W, and not a darned thing wrong with the color presentation.

Jeroen:
Very nice. Like this one as much as the previous. The wing pattern is just wonderful shown with the warm bg color.

I've seen 1 or 2 with the df and the sun rise. Maybe yours? I think this makes for a very dramatic shot. I like the water droplets on the far set of wings, which give this a real summer feel
