Crimson Marsh Glider

A breathtaking close-up profile shot of a Crimson Marsh Glider (Trithemis aurora) male perched on a dry grass seed head over a pond — arguably the finest of the series. Shot from a lower side angle, the deep scarlet-red body is rendered in exceptional detail against a dreamy soft-focus background of olive-green water with beautiful circular bokeh highlights from sunlight dancing on the water surface.
