Elegantly Poised

Posted by Sugata (Newark, United States) on 14 January 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

I photographed this dragonfly when it was sitting on the gate of our house in Hooghly, West Bengal, India. The simple joys of life, such as observing a dragonfly up close, are often missing from the city life. Hooghly being a small town is much closer to nature.
This dragonfly sat surprisingly still throughout the series of shots that I took, some even with the flash! This shot, however, was the best of the lot.

Thanks a lot to everyone who commented on my photos, or even stopped by for a visit. The comments have been pouring in pretty fast (there are over 1500 already!) and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to reply to each individually. I'd rather spend that time in viewing others' photos and commenting there. But I do read each comment individually, and if you ask me something specific, I'll answer that.

I am new to the photoblogging world. Still, I thought I would enter for the 2009 Photoblog Awards. Please vote for me if you think I deserve a vote and registering isn't too much of a trouble.
