Artist's Comments

A freshly hatched dragonfly. After the effort of getting out of its former skin, it is resting to have its wings dried by the sun (that's what I was thinking anyway).
Like most other insects we encountered, it wasn't shy at all. That was just as well, as I did have to get rather close for the macro shot. Then again I guess if it could have flown away, it would have... ;)

Taken near the "Blausee" in Bettmeralp VS, Switzerland. The dragonfly was spotted by my buddies ~creatyves, ~fritsch, Marco & Marc.

Yup.. :nod: it has to get the fluid inside the wings' structure to get them to spread in full size just like butterflies. And yes, it has to get the transparent areas dry before the wings will be good for flying. Excellent shot! :w00t:

danke. :) PS war mehrheitlich fuern rahmen, das bild selbst hat nur unwesentlich PS abgekriegt. ;)

die F-717 ist immer wieder ueberraschend passabel... [link] wenn auch nicht mehr ganz aktuell.

ja, offensichtlich steckt da echt mehr drin. hab wohl zu stark an die "billigeren" versionen der DSC serie gedacht.
