EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Martin Siepmann showcases a mesmerizing moment in the wilds of Bavaria, Germany. The image captures a delicate pairing of Common Blue Damselflies (Enallagma cyathigerum) engaged in copulation, their vibrant blue bodies contrasting beautifully with the surrounding nature. However, what makes this photograph truly intriguing is the presence of parasitic mites clinging to their bodies. The intricate details and colors are brought to life as we witness this intimate act between these winged creatures. The damselflies seem completely unaware of the tiny hitchhikers on their bodies, adding an element of surprise and curiosity to the scene. Siepmann's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of nature's interactions. The horizontal frame perfectly captures every aspect of this encounter - from the full length view of the damselflies' entwined bodies to the subtle sensuality that emanates from their union. As we gaze upon this extraordinary shot, we are reminded once again that even in seemingly ordinary moments like mating rituals, there is a world teeming with life waiting to be explored. This photograph serves as a testament to both Siepmann's talent behind the lens and Mother Nature's ability to create awe-inspiring scenes right before our eyes.
