Hanging on …

A breeze came up as I was making my way through the island gardens at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens.  I had been watching a couple of dragonflies to see where they might land and allow me an unobscured view to get a photograph.   This one finally decided to “pose” atop a young pitcher plant where it hung on for several minutes like a flag in the breeze.   The image was a little “soft” due to the movement from the breeze, so I decided to apply post processing that smoothed out the noise and made it look a bit more like a painting than a photograph.
