[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was amazed with my new Powershot S3 IS, no flash and no tripod with this result. I took this about 6pm, sunset light intensity always provided with great effect. Reflection on the water and its wings do give some imaginary effect.

Hope you all like it.

This is an unusual shot of a dragonfly, Kean. The creature is aglow with golden colours. The effect of the sunset light, as you mention in your note.
Well done and TFS.

hi
legerement OE acause des reflets sur les ailes gaughes mais cela donne de belles couleurs.
la netteté est assez bonne aussi.

Hola Kean,
Me gusta el POV, la iluminación y los colores. Tal vez un poco sobreexpuesta en partes del ala, pero no demasiado malo.
Buena nota.
Saludos cordiales
Hernán
