Widow Skimmer

Impressive macro. Excellent work, Todd. So that's what they're called.

Hi Wayne, thanks for your appreciation! Every time I photograph one, I have to look it up. It is amazing how many varieties of dragonflies there are. Todd

Hi Todd,

 

an amazing close-up encounter with this dragonfly that closely resembles a species which is common in my part of the world, the black-tailed skimmer (Orthetrum cancellatum). I like the narrow DoF in this image, putting all the emphasis on the front parts of the insect. Great work! Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Vincent, thanks for the nice comment! Warmest regards, Todd

good work

Thanks so much for the nice comment Malcolm! Todd
