Shot from Above - _TNY_8996
Before taking this shot, I was trying to photograph the very same male beautiful demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo) on a leaf on the other side of the Stenbäcken creek. Since there were two trees that had fallen over the creek, I balanced out on those to get the shot.
With me gradually moving closer and closer while taking photos (as you do), I eventually got too close and he took off.
Fortunately for me, he did a little flyaround and then proceeded to land on a tree branch sticking out right beneath the two logs I were standing on.
As you can see, my squatting was successful as he let me get a couple of snaps of him there and I must say the bokeh balls from the glittering creek beneath us really made this shot nicer!
