Exclamation Mark - _TNY_3388
Another male beautiful demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo) which I managed to photograph by stalking a perch which was out in the sun in the Stenbäcken creek in Tyresta National Park. This one had for some reason lost a leg, but it didn't seem to bother him too much.
The piece of wood it is sitting on was stuck in the bottom of the creek and jutted out of the water like 30 cm / 1' so when shooting this, I had my feet on two different rocks in the creek and my knees on two more, trying to find enough balance to get a sharp shot.
For a shot of another one, but from the side from the same day, please have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/54674850069/
