I smoothed out a few reflections in the lily pad and cleaned up a few specks in the water.
I had been watching the garden pond off an on most of the day, I spotted an exuvia but it was empty. I was photographing some adults when I saw this scene in the centre of the pond, obviously the teneral had emerged in front of me and I had missed it. I initially took some shots with the 180mm macro and then coupled with 1.4TC and then 2xTC, then I went for the 100-400, still not happy I got the 500mm f4 with an extension tube and this is the result, the image is cropped quite a bit.
All C & C welcome
