Emerging four spot chaser
I never cease to be spellbound when I watch the amazing transformation of a dragonfly nymph into an adult.

yes, well spotted and well taken. It's an amazing process and one I haven't managed to see so far this summer. A very nice shot.

Hello Paul.

Always nice to come across on of these, and you have captured the moment well.

For me, I think the image looks a little flat and needs a little more contrast ( useing curves )and some more USM. I have had quick play and I think it lifts the image a lot better.
It you would like me to remove the image just email me and it will be gone.
