Macro of a male dragonfly from a top-down dorsal perspective in symmetry. Rested flat with wings spread wide open horizontally, the insect showcases translucent, deeply saturated amber-red wings, illuminated by a bright backlight accentuating a complex network of dark venation. Its slender, segmented abdomen displays alternating bands of dark brown and warm orange-red running straight down the center. Its large, round compound eyes at the top of its head glow with a warm reddish-orange hue. The subject focused against a smooth, dark green bokeh background.
