Great shot Thomas! What exactly did you do to it in post? I don't remember my similar shots being anywhere near as vibrant as that is! I wonder, is he really one eyed or are we just seeing that film that they have that can go across their eye?

Nothing special in post. I do most of my tweaking with the RAW conversion. I'm sure a did a little shadow recovery with Hightlights/Shadows - probably around 25/4 or so. Not really sure about the eye, but it makes a more interesting title : ).

Awesome capture!

Its a damselfly, not a dragon fly. Just an FYI... :)
