Description
This particular angle was achieved by standing up and pointing downwards to a better contrast....the image was slightly darkened to achieve the beauty of this amazing insect. The background is natural dark in my depth of field....
This stunning back light of a mosquito hawk perched on a reed at the Mississippi River edge was taken on 4th of July awaiting the night time fireworks display, This beautiful image would be ideal to any insect collector, the glimmer of light passing through the wings of the mosquito hawk and the subtle hues of the light reflecting off the Mississippi River at sunset. This photo was taken with a Nikon 820 manual settings and slight density control. This one of a new series titled The Light Of Flight.....

I read your description and got distracted and then wrote dragonfly. Naughty me! Still mean it's a great image though.

Greetings Janine, thank you for viewing the Light Of Flight upon The Mosquito Hawk At The Mississippi River Bank In new Orleans Louisiana, it pleases me this photo appeals to you and you are correct it is named a dragon fly, down south there are green, blue, and orange to rust color, and have always called them mosquito hawk, not to mistaken the damsel fly with a dragon fly or a mosquito hawk , damsel fly complete different species of insect,,,,I appreciate the generous comment.....Cheers, Michael Hoard
