Dragonfly Eye Rim Light Shadow Ridge in on a wind-scoured ridge in Sichuan

Dragonfly Eye Rim Light Shadow Ridge

by Patsy Witt

Iridescent green and gold facets dominate the frame, forming a hexagonal mosaic that reflects the fading twilight. Frost crystals coat the delicate wings and the ridge stones behind the insect, catching the faint glow of distant city lights. The dragonfly sits motionless in deep shadow, its body outlined by a sharp rim of cool light. Tiny droplets of ice rest on the fine hairs on its thorax. The background blurs into dark silhouettes of the Sichuan mountains, while the foreground remains crisp and textured. One frost crystal hangs from the tip of a wing, refracting the distant urban glow into a tiny prism of white.
