EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the intimate moment of mating between two Orthetrum brunneum dragonflies, also known as the Southern Skimmer or Blue-tailed Skimmer. Taken by acclaimed Italian photographer Fabrizio Daminelli, this image showcases the intricate details of these magnificent insects in the Odonata order, specifically the Anisoptera suborder and the Libellulidae family. The vibrant blue and black wings of the male dragonfly (Frecciazzurra in Italian) are spread wide in a display of courtship, while the female (Libellula) carefully examines him. The dragonflies are perched on a submerged branch in a tranquil, shimmering pond, with the sun casting a celestial light over the scene. Fabrizio's expert use of a Canon camera and Tamron lens allows for an extreme close-up of the dragonflies' intricate body parts, revealing the intricate veining on their wings and the delicate structures of their eyes. The vertical composition of the image adds to the sense of intimacy and depth, transporting the viewer into the heart of this natural wonder. This image is a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world, and the artistry of Macrophotography. It invites us to appreciate the intricacies of these creatures, and the delicate balance of life in its many forms.
