Dragons in the mist
After a fine week of drizzle and good old fashion english summer rain, finally got a good few hours to get out. So checked out some of the last Dragons flying.

Thanks for looking

very well captured Paul, I know from experience these can be tricky although these Migrant Hawkers will sometimes hover nicely for you. I'd have been tempted to use a bit of flash on this one just to add a bit more sparkle.

The viewpoint and seperation between the wings work well. Not so keen on the background colour, might benefit from a levels tweak.

I love it, not an easy subject in my book. ALso not so keen on the background.
