The Food Chain
Red Dragonfly in flight (just before it was getting ready to light) and another of my favorite Katy Dit…..........I combined the two for this collaberated version of survival of the fittest….........the editing on this image consists of combining two images and some lighting highlights; that’s it…....

J.K. York
no way! you got to be kidding me. how on earth did you manage to capture that??? my jaw drops. a bit of drool…. my macro envy is tweaked. BRILLIANT!!! o.k. i’m humbled now.
Joyce Dickens,... replied
James….I am pleased that you find enjoyment in this image; I have edited my description to show that this is a collaberation of two of my images. The dragonfly is (I feel) one of my best Macros and I have many of it…........I would like to show more of them but it seems redundant as they all look pretty much the same…..........Thank you for your gracious support.
