Info on the Green Darner Dragonfly

Passion in the Vineyard

A jug of wine, a loaf of crusty artisan bread, a block of cheddar, an assortment of fresh fruits, a bar of chocolate, a CD of your favorite music all to be enjoyed as you bask in the warm afternoon Sun amid a field of fragrant late-blooming Autumn flowers. Oh Yeah, I almost forgot...And your favorite someone.

Brightness adjusted, color enhanced, sharpened, Neat Image noise reduction and resized for posting

The detail is a little soft but I gave up trying to keep the size under 200 KB while not affecting the image. I probably should have just left it alone. The original is in workshop. It has only been resized

Workshops Welcome :-)
