Original - Tasmanian Darner (Austroaeschna tasmanica), female, on the Edge of Lake Will, Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania Australia
Alt - (suggest file rename if it gets promoted or anything)
Reason
I think that this one had only very recently emerged from it's exuvia - it was sitting beside Lake Will, drying its wings. I didn't really have any macro gear on me, but by taking many shots to get a sharp one I was able to get something decent thanks to the obliging subject. I post an alt as I'm not sure which to pick though maybe the first has slightly better EV.
