Southern Hawker and nymph case by

This beautiful dragonfly emerged from my pond in June. I took lots of shots, but the wing detail was lost in the foliage background. I placed a piece of paper behind and took some shots…..the wing detail was amazing!

    i agree with you, the detail is amazing. a two for one shot. good you captured the shot before he spread his wings to dry. good job with a simple piece of paper as BG. you should post this to the Macrophotography group.
