  • Jee, I'm pinging you in case you'd like to play with the image per Charles' remark. You might not want to go too far, though, assuming that the current levels reflect the light conditions you dealt with. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:22, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support. Thanks Ikan. Sorry for the late response; I was away and just saw now when returned. Reprocessed to add a bit more exposure and clarity. (This is a juvenile male, showing all marks which will be hidden by pruinescence. There are a lot of other changes including the eye colors. I created a Odonata of Kerala gallery to explain all these things to the beginners upon request. The behavior also different. We can see the adults near the ponds, well exposed, waiting for their girls. But a juvenile will never visit the ponds as they are not matured enough to mate. They have a secret life in the shades of the shrubs away from the water bodies. It is difficult to locate them. So the lighting condition is well matching to their behavior. ) Jee 04:50, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
