Summary

[edit]
Description

Keeping in line with the dragon theme for the year - a red dragon on lotus (both auspicious for the season). Actually a red dragonfly ( id yet to be established, probably only when I get the book Singapore Odonata) about to land on a lotus flower in the garden pond. Green background from some plants on the side and the halo around the dragonfly is water splashing around the fountain. Mid-day sun overhead caused the dragonfly's shadow to be cast on the lotus. Would have chosen a different time and lighting but the dragonfly seems to be active only when the sun is bright.

Not quite a macro but probably the best possible with a long lens.

Same dragonfly settled on lotus bud www.flickr.com/photos/lipkee/6736348983 Lotus = Nelumbo nucifera??
