    Default Me and My Shadow

    I was walking by my pond and there were several dragon flies hovering over the water. They all had little shadows under them. I cropped down to just 1.
    And ran some Topaz Adjust filters on it.
    Enjoy

    Beautiful Dragonfly. I love them. Clean blue color, and the reflections are great.

    Beautiful composition, Janet. The blue and yellow combination is striking! I like the effect on the water where the grass intersects the water. I think taking a bit of the bottom may strengthen the image further. I also think Topaz adjust may have introduced a bit of artifacts which should be easy to fix. Excellent work!

    Hi Janet, the blue and yellow work so well together here. Some good suggestions above by Indranil. I would take the time to evict the branch (or whatever it is) that is under the surface of the water. I also see the artifact, especially the fuzzy area above the head and back. Nice capture, just a couple of tweaks to make it stronger.
