A difficult and unexpected picture

Tenía la ilusión de pillar una cópula de Cordulegaster pues había visto varios tándem pero la tendencia del macho es llevarse a la hembra algo alto cuando no mucho.

Este día estaba solo, cosa rara, y se posaron en lo alto de una caña. Les disparé para tener el documento y sin pensarlo más puse la distancia de enfoque a ojo y con el brazo izquierdo cogí la caña y la bajé a mi altura con la suerte de que no se rompió ni ellos se fueron. Hice varios disparos, enfocando al mismo tiempo que movía la caña hacia mí y parece que en un punto estaban a foco. Cuando llegué a casa el resultado que observé era superior al esperado. Tenía definición pero muy oscura y le pedí a mi amigo Pipa que me hiciera el favor de "adecentarla". Gracias Amigo.

He had the illusion of catching a Cordulegaster copulation as he had seen several tandem but the tendency of the male is to take the female somewhat high when not much.

This day he was alone, which is rare, and they perched on top of a reed. I shot them to get the document and without thinking about it I put the focus distance by eye and with my left arm I took the rod and lowered it to my height with the luck that it did not break nor they left. I took several shots, focusing at the same time that I moved the rod towards me and it seems that at one point they were in focus. When I got home the result I observed was higher than expected. It had definition but very dark and I asked my friend Pipa to do me the favor of "tidying it up." Thanks friend.
