For info, this specimen is actually an Emerald Damselfly. Gorgeous in colour but I never dreamed it could look so beautiful in sepia. Well done!

Damselfly! What a lovely name for this delicate creature. Portrait in sepia – really nice!

Congrats!
Toni
Thank you!
Colors are quite natural. It was late night and sun was going down, perfect situation for making silhouettes like this one.
Special thanks to Patti-Ann for clarification!

Looks like that game on PSN where little man is walking around in shadows
. Great shot though!

Very snazzy…how amazing that God created such unfathomable beauty in such a small aspect of life… I am a bit embarrassed being a Latin student myself, but what does Lestes Sponsa mean?
Laura Milholland
Magnificent and masterly shot.
Deborah Flowers
