[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A common Darter on a common fence that's what this is. I have them in different shades of colour. I tried to get the wings on the steel bar but after several attempts where the dragon fly flew away and came back I decided to be happy with this shot.
This one is fairly red while others that I took are more greenish. Is this a differnece between male and female or do they just exist in different colours?

Adding a lot of information on the common darter has been done several times already. So that doesn't seem necessary.

PP: I cropped a little and did a bit of USM.

Jan, very nice shot. Lovely amount of detail and great DOF. This Dragonfly is trying to be modern with this background.

I'm surpised he held on. I saw one trying to get a purchase on some polythene the other day, he kept sliding down, most amusing. Yes the sexes are a different colour. The females are a dirty yellow. Over time from emergence to 'old age' the colours change. The colours can even be affected by temperature in some species.

Jan, this is very nice shot. The fence provides a nice background to enhance the details of this dragon. Very nice DOF and a sharp image. Thanx for sharing.
