This metallic glass print captures a luminous Common Bluetail Damselfly perfectly poised on a slender twig, suspended against a wide expanse of shimmering water. The tiny insect appears weightless above a sea of soft circles of light, its fine wings outstretched and delicate body balanced at the very centre of the frame, as if time has paused for a single, breath-held moment.
Photographed on the waters of Broken River in Eungella National Park, this Common Bluetail is one of many small guardians of the river. These damselflies spend much of their life underwater as nymphs before emerging to dance above the surface, and their presence signals clean, healthy waterways. Unlike dragonflies, damselflies usually fold their wings along their bodies at rest, their slim form built for precise, acrobatic flight as they hunt tiny insects on the wing.
What I love most about this metallic glass print is how it celebrates delicacy and restraint. The fine twig, the impossibly thin legs gripping it, the translucent wings catching the light, and that dazzling blue body all sit in calm contrast to the dreamy bokeh of the river behind. It feels minimal, modern, and quietly playful, a metallic glass print that draws you closer the longer you look.
