Banded Pennant

This is a stunning, high-quality macro print of a Banded Pennant Dragonfly (Celithemis eponina) or a similar species, perfectly balanced atop a dried, braided seed head or stalk of grass. The dragonfly is sharply focused, showcasing its intricate, mottled amber/yellow and dark brown banded wings and its dark, slender abdomen. The insect and its perch are set against a softly blurred, golden-tan and pale olive green background (shallow depth of field), giving the image a warm, sunlit, and rustic feel that highlights the delicate patterns on the wings.
