Description
The balance of a damselfly on the "Tip of the Grass" always amazes me. This photo shows great detail on the subject, with a soft-focused background of grass.
Taking the center of the frame is a brown striped damselfly resting on the tip of a plant. The insect's legs hold it in a cantilevered position, with its body stretching across the image perpendicular to the blade of grass. Along the length of its body are stripes of yellow and black. Its wings, unlike a dragonfly, are folded together at and angle over its back.
Vertical green and yellow stripes make up the background of the scene. Grasses and flower stems form a softly focused curtain. Their muted colors and lack of sharpness give contrast to the sharpness and angularity of the subject.
