This dragonfly has been caught last september on a foggy and windy day, just after sunrise. Almost full frame.

Many thanks for looking, Fabio

This is just incredible! I love the dewdrops and the lighting and colour just make this perfect! We have dragonflies where I live, but it's almost always CRAZY windy here so getting macros is really hard!

A chiseled piece of art, both the insect and the image. Wonderful!

Fabio like I said before this is just beautiful, like a mother natures dragonfly diamond brooch. Congratulations on your WP!

Amazing image, Fabio! This is poignant to me because of how vulnerable the dragonfly is in this condition. So beautiful. Congrats! :toast:

I've got one shot of a newly emerged DF with water in its wings..But it was from rain and at the ponds edge.
This is much better.
They way the water forms when it condenses like this wonderful. It looks like there's an almost infinite number of drops that dazzle the eye :smile:
Well done my friend :toast:
