Ovipositing...
Another from a session in the summer.. This lady was very obliging and when I supplied her with some floating vegetation she came and landed almost in front of me lying down by the side of the pond. Large in the frame because she was close even with the Macro, backing off will have spooked her at this moment..

Super detail and vibrant colours - reminds me of summer! Sounds to have been vry accomodating for you.

nicely captured Brett. A sight I've seen many times but I never manage to get a clear enough view for a shot this nice.

Cracking colours on this Brett - minor shame about the top horizontal red through her head/body but still a belter I'd be more than happy with.

Lovely image, Brett. Any lower and you would have been in that pond!

Oh how we all look forward to those summer opportunities, but there are plenty more during the winter months too. Super work Brett, amazing detail.

Not really sure about the drop shadow frame - I find my eye drifting towards it. :frown:
