Gosh I found this disconcerting when I first looked at it! Good detail and tones.

Great close-up but I can't quite get my head arouund the angle this is presented at. Was it actually resting at this angle, or have you turned the picture 90 degrees?

Hi David

The Dragonfly was about half way up on my shed door and was perched there for at least 5 minutes. I took the photo from above and slightly to the side, looking directly down to its head and the only PP done to the photo is cropped and sharpened.
