Did you know? Dragonflies are impressive insects with two pairs of powerful wings which enable them to catch insects on the wing. They have large eyes for spotting their prey.

Demetrio, it's hard to get this close so well done. The light is too bright and the head is not in great focus. I think for this close in F5 is too shallow, you need to incease the DOF. The max on my camera is only F8 and I wish I had more for this type of shot. Keep up the good work, after all the hardest work is getting this close.

It's not easy to come nose to nose with them like this, so full marks for tracking the beast down. However, I have to agree that the pin sharpness isn't really there. With the Nikon you can go much higher in F-stop, so try to get the entire head sharp next time round ;-)

Demetrio, quite a macro here. I like POV. Our fellows above have already given us the tips.

Good note too.
