This is very beautiful macro. The curved lines of the leaf give the artsy twist to this lovely nature photo.

Superbe celle-ci. Non seulement la libellule est très bien prise (position netteté) mais en plus son environnement est très esthétique, le mouvement des feuilles apportant un réel plus à l'image.
