Description
Dragonfly---
Dear everyone,
Thanks =Flynn-the-cat and ^dandelgrosso for the DD! You can't believe how much this means to me.
And a huge thank you to everyone else! For all the comments and +favs and everything. And just to answer some common questions:
- Shot with a Canon 350D with 100mm macro lens
- Lighting using Sunlight + Bounce Flash (gave some awesome iridescent colours at different angles!)
- Some saturation increase in photoshop, but no colouring in. Plus a crop. Isn't nature just awesome?
Thanks so much everyone and appreciate your kind words!

Fabulous shot. Dragonflies are so lovely. I think I read that they eat hundreds of moquitos in a day. Go them!

Sorry about that - I had to catch my breath between syllables, 'cause this is so unbelievably AMAZING.
I love the composition, lighting, detail, focus, colours...everything. You're really a wonderful photographer
