A dragonfly, it was one of the biggest dragonflys I have seen, After a long time of chasing that dragonfly it stopped flying for somthing like 5 sec' so I started walking to it step by step after anderstanding that if I'll come from her back she will not detact me, so I came close and took only one photo of the insect and than it flew away... But i got a good on !!:)

Fuji FinePix A330
Macro mode (About 9 cm' away from the dragonfly)
WB:Sunny
Camera was hand hold

Ido, Sharp photo with great detail! Well done!

The eagle has landed and so are the points. Superb image with great vision and lots of good taste ! It also landed in my very discriminant ,,favourite,, !

9cm away from it... You must have some cloaking device or super stealth mode. I never get this close. :)

Tack sharp, great shot. Any ideas on the ID?

Ido, to me, everything is perfect here: a single but perfect shot. Sharpness, DOF, POV and composition are excellent. Besides, the dragonfly is very, very beautiful.

Congratulations.

A beautiful shot, Ido. You obviously have great patience and resolve. Focus on the insect is sharp overall while completely set off from the background.
