Broken Wing, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

We rescued this dragonfly from the lake and placed it on a pine tree branch. At first, we were wondering why this dragonfly was struggling on the lake surface and why it wasn't flying around like a normal dragonfly. After we picked it up with a boat oar, we noticed that it had a broken wing. We were all saddened by the broken spirit of this helpless bug.

Cheers, Paul.

Excellent close up and centering of the dragon fly is very good.
