Darter, new born

I've found a small "bog" in my local park which has proved a rich source of wildlife, here's another the unfortunately named common darter.

Cheers

I agree with Juza, the water drops are an unsual touch that really adds to this image. It is also well focused with good color.

Nicely executed Tim...I really like the clarity of the wings. My guess is that this DF recently emerged.
