I cannot believe how hard it is to shoot these dragonflies in flight. I have cheated a little here. I could see some blue in the water (background) but it was mostly brown. I thought I could bring out the blue through PP but it looked crap. I then tried mucking around with the raw as a last ditch effort and found when setting the white balance to tungsten gave me more blue than that what was really there.
I like the shot mainly due to the effort taken to capture it so I don’t expect that to play much on the thoughts of the voters. I really wanted to capture one of these facing towards me but after more than an hour trying it wasn’t going to happen for me that day. I don’t expect to get hit with DNMCs but I’m not anticipating more than low 5’s for this. It was fun getting the shot though.
