I took this image last June of a newly emerged dragonfly (body colors were not fully developed yet) that was not quite ready to fly for the first time - in fact, it was sitting on my hand. I neglected to record the species, but it is one of the Clubtails (Family Gomphidae). 5D II, MP-E 65 mm, 1/125, f/16, ISO 400, MT-24EX Macro Twin Flash (diffused), hand held. RAW file processed in CS5. I removed a few pollen grains from the head and used NIK Color Efex Pro 4 (Darken/Lighten Center) to brighten the head a little. NR on background and selective sharpening on the head only. All comments are welcome and appreciated.
