Did you combine two images here? Wonderful background wash which emphasizes the detail in the dragonfly wings.

Great image Charlie. Care to share how you did it?

Thanks for responses. I have had the dragon fly wings for a few years and they were from a DF that I found dead by a pond. I shot the wings in studio with white background, as they were in really good condition. I've fooled with this many times trying different images to blend and this fall river image suited me. Quite frankly I have done so much to both images over time that I can't recall much of what I have done. Hope this helps you understand.

The fine veined wings cast
against the background palette
are truly inspired!
