Brown hawker ovipositing

[Jonathan Ashton]

Canon 7D Canon 180mm macro tripod ISO 200 -0.3 1/160 sec f8
I took this image whilst the hawker was laying eggs in the garden pond, all C&C welcome.

Amazing details, Jonathan, and how awesome to be able to capture it laying eggs. It appears as though image needs a little bit of CCW rotation.

Hi Jon, like the detail, might try compressing the Levels histogram, see what 2, 1.00, 230 looks like, bit more 'pop'?

A dandy behavior shot with a nice low angle. A crop from right and bottom may be another option.

Thanks for the feedback everyone - Steve tried it - yes it does make a subtle but definite difference - thanks.
