Artist's Comments

In my opinion, one of the hardest things to photograph are the small things in the twilight using long shutter speeds -- just little breeze of wind can make the subject move from side to side in your viewfinder. I had to wait till 4am till the wind finally calmed down. I usually have fun shooting and if I hadn't been so determined to get this picture I would have given up the whole thing. So I really hope you like it :)
The insect in the picture is a common hawker male (aeshna juncea).

Full view please to see the detail, but I hope that's a given :)

Edit: made this one available as a print.

the drops on its wings are just amazing, really well done mate :)

This is so amazing. The wing looks like glass. There's a reason why I'm watching you: this kind of stuff can only come from you. I love the feeling coming from this, the confused state of mind caused because the wing looks so fragile and unbreakable at the same time. Again, truly amazing! :heart:

awsome shot!
but I think if you'd look at the histogram it ends before pure white - so some level corrections would be nice to get the whole spectrum from pure black to pure white in it..
