Ebony Jewelwing (Calopteryx maculata)

I was surprised that this photo turned out at all. At the Anderson Japanese Gardens, tripods are not permitted, so macro photography becomes a challenge under the best conditions. On this particular day, it was rather windy and I wouldn't have bet a nickel that this photo would have turned out!
