I know this is far from perfect, isn't as sharp as good wildlife photography would demand, but – It was taken with my cell phone, so I hope you forgive.

I had to be very patient, get very close, and be very lucky to get any of these. I may post others eventually, as I have time to review and process them.

Here's the first one. I suspect the little predator is eyeing the bugs stranded on the water hyacinths in the pond. Or maybe those are dragonfly nymphs?

There is almost no post-processing done on this image, just some color balancing and my signature.

What do you think?
