I was looking into the sun when I took this shot of a Twelve-spotted Skimmer dragonfly (Libellula pulchella) last week at Huntley Meadows Park. The body and the perch were silhouetted, but the light showed through the dragonfly’s wings and highlighted the beautiful patterns.
I really like the graphic, almost abstract quality of this image. It has a different feel than most of my other images that tend to provide more detailed views of the subject.

That’s incredible!
Zam!
The composition and the high contrast lighting makes this image very architectural to my mind – possibly because it makes me think of a weathervane.
Nice Mike! It does remind me of a weather vane!
