Another from my favorite wetlands park :-) Found quite a few dragonflies; like this shot for the way his head is tilted toward me, the complementary background and the bokeh from the sun shining on the water.
Sorry for the boring title but nothing more creative is suggesting itself to me this morning!
PP - converted from RAW, cropped, increased saturation, shifted yellow green to greener hue, cloned/airburshed bright tip of his stick perch, burnt his eye slightly, USM, reduced noise, added border, resized, sharpened with noise reduction. |

This is a lovely shot Mary.
Great colours and the delicacy of the foliage provides a wonderful visual synergy with his own shape and form.
The OOF bright spots finish this off perfectly. |

| The bokeh is lovely - and helps make for a very quiet and gentle photo. |
