[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While working at my computer this morning, I was startled by the sound of this dragonfly 'battling' against one of the bedroom windows.

As I tried to open the window for it, I thought this might be a good opportunity to take a 'nature' shot.

I took several shots and finally managed to take this one of it resting on the 'marble' window ledge.

I cropped the photo to remove the edge of the window, which you can see in the top left corner.

While it isn't the greatest dragonfly shot, I did like the fact that you can see the ends of it's legs more clearly - as it isn't holding onto anything.

After 'posing' for me, it gained it's freedom.

Tech: Resized and sharpened. Contrast +18. Slight adjustment to highlight, midtone and shadow. Added black border.
