[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi TN,

Back from a wonderful honeymoon in Bali - starting the long but fun process of sorting through photos.... I'm hoping to post a few of which this is the first.

There is an abundance of beautiful dragonflies in Bali and I took quite a few shots - this one I like because of the patterns of the leaves and the dragonfly shadow - oh and the lovely golden sunlit colour of its wings of course!

There were loads buzzing around in pairs in courtship flights but they never stopped long enough for me to have a chance of catching them in flight!

Hope you like it. Thanks for looking. Doug

Hi Doug,
A nice capture of this short tailed damselfly I suppose. Very good details and a lovely composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi Doug,
Glad to hear you had a good honeymoon mate, i bet it was amazing! Now back to reality eh? Hope married life is treating you well.
This is a corking shot, the shadows and lighting here is fantastic. Great composition too, with perfect DOF and lovely tropical looking vegetation - nicely done!
All the best,
Paul
