EDITORS COMMENTS
Fly Away with the Emerald Beauties! These stunning damselflies have taken a break from their busy aerial acrobatics to strike a pose on a reed in Cornwall, England. With only the tips of their vibrant wings in sharp focus, they exude an air of mystery and elegance. Captured by Ross Hoddinott, this photograph won the prestigious Close to Nature Category at the British Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards. These emerald darlings belong to the species Lestes sponsa, commonly known as spreadwing damselflies. Their delicate bodies and intricate wing patterns make them true works of art in nature's gallery. As they rest side by side, it's hard not to imagine them engaged in whispered conversations or secret courtship rituals. The selective focus technique used here adds an artistic touch to this already enchanting image. It highlights every minute detail while creating a dreamlike atmosphere that transports us into their world for just a moment. So let your imagination take flight with these mesmerizing creatures! Whether you're an insect enthusiast or simply appreciate Mother Nature's creativity, this print is sure to bring joy and wonder into any space.
