Common Darters

[Jonathan Ashton]

Canon 50D, Canon 180mm macro, hand held, ISO 400, fill in flash -1.66, 1/500, sec f8.

I took this shot today over my garden pond. I did a little tidying up in the background there were a few bubbles and specular highlights.

All C & C welcome.

Tough one Jon! I know you like to show the environs too but something about the two RH side taller grasses bug me. I do realize thet if you eliminate them, there would be a lot of negative space left.....so not quite sure what the answer is! REally nice job with the flight of the 2 though!

Thanks for the comments, ideally I would have been a little closer but they did not permit this, I decided to leave the grasses in and not crop much at all in order to show the "scene".
