[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
They breed in still ponds and sheltered lakes. After the male has attached itself to the female they mate on a perch and remain conjoined as they fly off and hover over the water. The male dips down to allow the female to deposit the eggs below the surface. The larvae live around the marginal vegetation feeding on tiny water creatures and remain in the water for a year.

Hi Cecilia,
a beautiful and clean shot. Lovely colours, nice composition and POV. The DOF is very good, the subject in focus and the BG nicely blurred.

Hi Cecilia,
As Gert says, a beautiful and clean shot. The detail is excellent, no noise anywhere, perfect colours and deep contrast all make up a very professional image. Perfect DOF too, very well presented with the top and bottom frame, really a great shot.

This is beautiful and flawless Cecilia, the exposure is right on target on this perfect shot. After 342 mosquito bites I am back from Peru and I'm happy because I dont think I had anymore blood to spare for those little suckers. :)
