Unhappy Landing


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Landing Malfunction
Landing Malfunction

He sure picked a pretty water lily to land on but it seems as tho there was a slight problem - one wing kinda got a little bent upon landing. Took about a nanosecond for him to straighten it out, tho and off he zoomed. (I was about ready to call in the "dragonfly medics". :) :)

  I believe that you would have tried to fix him, Dr.V! Maybe your smelling salts would have helped a little! What a great capture!

  Amazing details and what a story you're sharing with us! I'm glad you didn't have to call "dragonfly medics". I've heard they are pretty slow to respond. Congratulations on a fantastic finalist, and good luck in the next round!
