This was no easy task. My legs and the tripod legs were all on different levels. Nature photography is such fun and pain :mad:

The eyes look like opals.

A lovely picture, enhanced by the thought of you performing acrobatics in order to get the shot.

The picture makes me envious, the techs make me smile. Thank you. :toast:

Lestes are never easy and you have done well here to show the spreadwing I can live with the tail being slightly OOF but I do find the bg to intrude just a little, though appreciate that there was not a lot you could do there (it is just the lighter patches on the left hand side)
