A top view of a red dragonfly, taken last august on early morning. Slightly cropped for composition, noise reduction, selective sharpening.
Nikon D300s; Sigma 180mm; ISO 400; F10; 1/30; tripod
Thanks for looking, Fabio

Fabio:
Technically flawless image. Beautiful vein pattern on the wings and nice color on the DF and sweet bg. :toast:
