Blue Dasher Dragonfly!

Blue Dasher

The Blue Dasher is smaller than the larger dragonflies.  I would call it mid-sized.

The background in this and the next shot is the front pond on which water lilies are blooming.  The white spot is one of those blooms.  I shot this one two ways.

I thought that the white might set off the dragonfly.  They both are nice, but I think that the first one is better because it adds interest to the picture as a whole in a way the bottom one does not.  What do you think?

They kind of get used to you sitting there after a while and almost become curious.  This is an "in your face" shot of the Blue Dasher.  I think, to a lesser degree, that encaustic might strengthen this one as a print.
