    The dragonflies seem to like ovipositing on the mosses which accumulate on sandstones at the garden pond edge. In anticipation of this I clear pond weeds in the water beside the stones to give a less distracting background, just a few ghosts here and there.

    Excellent sharpness plus beautiful light that brings out the colors. Good job of prepping the background and it contrasts nicely with your subject. Also, a great view of that sharp ovipositor. Very well done!
