I love when shots turn out like this one Yves. Lots of detail in and around the dragonflies. The lighting even brings out the spider webs. Am I guessing right if I say those are tree twigs creating the swirls. Very creative and artistic.

Thanks for the nice comments Debra. Glad you love those (more artistic) shots. About the twigs I would say so. Those subjects never stay long so usualy I concentrate on them (the background becomes a surprise). I remember the place the shot was taken (june 2024) and the surrounding certainly match the twigs. There is a big error with the site. It says the shot was taken april 5 2025 but it's not. It was loaded on the site at that date.

The dragonflies stand out beautifully here against the background swirls.. and the light hits everything just right. Super capture, Yves.

Very cool, Yves. I like it a lot. I like the patterns in the background and composition very much.

Thank you very much Jane. I remember that I took a moment to choose the angle for that special lighting.on the dragonflies.

This is more about the artistic composition of the elements, the swirling paterns of the background and the delicate lighting of the mating dragonflies.
