Lovely close up shot Yves, sharp focus really brings out the detail lace work in the wings. Fabulous shooting.Nice to see summer shots while we are in this deep freeze.

The colours in the foreground contrast very well against the white background and the detail on the dragonfly and flower buds is exquisite. The pose you captured here makes for a truly uplifting and beautiful image, Yves.

Description
So far the red dragonfly is the only one I know that take that praying monk pose. Can't resist taking the shot with lots of care not to disturb the ascetic. Enclosed within its wings, uplifted to higher world by swirling inner thoughts. Taken at the Drummond dam on the Magog river.
