Description
I think the white spots on this dragonfly's eyes are pollen, and it was probably feeding on bees.Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 2x) + a diffused MT-24EX. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique: Early morning shot while it was still a little lethargic, although it only gave me time for a few portrait shots (about 22C).
