Backlite Black Darter.
Canon 10D, Sigma 180mm, f 27, 1/8 - 1/3, iso 100, tripod.

Sorry but no new stuff at the moment so heres one from the files I have re-worked.

Thanks for looking.

Who cares whether its old, this is lovely. I particularly like the background detail as too often these types of shots have black featureless bgrounds and this one really lets you see the context. Small lumpy bit on the stalk is a pain re drawing your eye - but this is the real world so its fine with me. Nice one!

Very classy, there's lots to see in this image, it has kept me busy enjoying the light, highlights, detailing, water droplets, colours... nice work

Wonderful. Would be even better if the wings were spread out a bit more on the LHS, but a very good use of light and moisture!
