 This picture was taken on a beautiful sunny day down by the river Avon.
I found a group of dragon flys hovering around the plants and thought that they would make for an interesting shot.

Post processing was cropping, unsharp mask and some level changes.

This is my first entry so all feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Probably a "damsel fly", but still a good photo.

Seems a little oversaturated for my taste and a little grainy, but a nice insect shot all the same.
