Libellula incesta
Odonata : Libellulidae
This is a rare instance for me. This dragonfly seemed to be "sleeping" and therefore I tried several different types of shots. This is a rare opportunity to take an image without flash. I opened the F stop, and increased the ISO. This to be able to get the blurred background and be able to have a sharp focus on the wings. I almost did it. The wings are a tad out of focus.
This shot was done handheld. I am pleased about this one.
I adjusted color. contrast, exposure, and a few more things with Lightroom, but not by much. Ah yes, and cropped it. Corrected for ISO noise also.
