Dragonfly consolation prize

Posted by Matthew (Baton Rouge, United States) on 4 August 2007 in Animal & Insect.

I was outside earlier this year and I saw a couple of butterflies flitting about my backyard, so I grabbed my camera and started shooting. Unfortunately, the light was too low for a good action shot and the butterflies were not in the mood to pose for me, but when I was about to put my camera away I saw this dragonfly on the window screen. I actually had forgotten about this picture until I was searching my wife's computer for something to post today (trying to make it a habit to post once per day). After a little cropping, and some artefact producing post processing (iPhoto - arrgg!!!) and... voila!
