On Wings of Reflection

On our afternoon walkabout down a narrow footpath I spotted a Southern Hawker which obligingly landed on a nearby stalk for a while. The colours were blown out in the direct sunlight but on viewing the photo I could see the nearby green vegetation reflected on, or maybe refracted through, its normally transparent wings.

    Very nice, you would get the gold star on Monday for a macro of the wing.

    Thank you John. It was a fascinating set of reflections / refractions.

    Thank you Jan. Not seen many dragons as yet, though it is still early round here.
