Description
Two beautiful tropical waterlilies, one of which is hosting a pair of mating damselflies. I didn't notice the damselflies until I uploaded the image to my Mac! :-)
Photographed in mid June in a Pennsylvania garden. Damselflies can easily be distinguished from dragonflies by their wings at rest, which are folded back, in line with their bodies, while the wings of dragonflies at rest are perpendicular. Both are marvelous fliers and help clear the air -- and water, too, in their nymph stages -- of pesky mosquitoes, gnats, etc. The dark background is a result of quality of ambient sunlight, camera settings, and dark water, not photoshop techmiques, though I did use PSE to eliminate some background distractions.
