[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The last couple of days of my Thai trip were spent relaxing on the picturesque southeast coast near Trang.
In a pond near the village of Pak Meng I found this beautiful Swampwatcher (Potamarcha congener) a species that is distributed through South-east Asia, Indonesia, New Guinea and northern Australia.

Hi Chris

A very beautiful shot of this lovely dragonfly!
I really live the contrast betwen it and this very beautiful blurred BG. Also the colors and tones here are great, the POV is excellent and the DOF is impecable.
Very well framed and composed, too.

Bravo and TFS
