Description
Hello !
This time it really IS a Dragonfly :)))
Sorry it is not the best compo, but.....
In the middle of cleaning the floor I hear sound of a bird flapping around and knocking on the window. It appears to be this huge dragonfly. It is the biggest one, I have ever seen. I jumped to grab my camera and the phone called. :-/ Phew it was only a short message. So I got the shots. Not at all the best shots, but I was concered for its wings to be damaged of all the flapping under the roof, so I made it short, to let it out quick. The background didnt add to it either.
Thanks for having a look and for your kind comments to yesterdays post.
Have a lovely day.
Fait weather and cloudy too. :)

Congratulations on getting your first shots of a Dragonfly. These are very nice. This is indeed a pretty big male but I do not know the species. I like the colors and presentation. Thanks for sharing. lee

people must see your art full-size. Full-size this is almost a piece of ceramic. You captured its body as if it were posing in a high-level photography studio. You have a knack for capturing close-ups as if they were huge. It looks almost as if it were made of porcelain or a fine ceramic. The detail on the wings is stunning too; one can even see the 'feelers' on its legs. And it's nice that you gave us some cameos so we could see how large it was. You not only helped save it, you got it on film too. Bravo. A stunning capture.
