Dragonfly Eye Catching Dawn Light in above a glacial stream in Sri Lanka

Dragonfly Eye Catching Dawn Light

by Richard McGuire

Vibrant blue light strikes the faceted surface of a dragonfly's compound eye, illuminating thousands of hexagonal lenses in sharp relief. The insect rests above a rushing glacial stream in Sri Lanka, where deep shadow swallows the lower body while a sharp rim light outlines the wings. Heavy monsoon clouds loom overhead, casting a dramatic, diffused glow that reflects off the wet stone below. The intricate texture of the eye shifts from dark violet to electric blue as the light hits each facet. One droplet of water rests on the wingtip, mirroring the gray sky above.
