Brian Ellwood, Leadlight wings (May theme: Texture)

This Australian emperor dragonfly was exploring the flowers in our garden so I quickly grabbed my camera and macro lens. There was a light shower of rain halfway through shooting and I love the effect of the raindrops on the wings. The detail in the wings just reminds me of lead lighting.
