Hi All , this is my second upload of this pale snaiktail dragonfly , from I different point of view. while it was on this perch , I took the opportunity to get a couple of head on shots , but they have the blade of grass that is just under its wing , was in front of the wing , too bad to ,cause that angle had a nicer background. but being a dragonfly certainly does not mean posing all perfect for the camera :-)

I got this shot two days ago , and have been on the look out for dragonflies for a week or more, it's that time of year here, I seen one the evening before , then the next day there where lots , funny how that changes over night :-) , I actually saw and got photo's of two other kinds , a skimmer and a meadowhawk , but they where not being as 'camera friendly' as this one , other than the swarms of mosquitoes , this is my favorite part of the summer , dragonflies are by far my favorite insect , they are so interesting to watch . amazing aerialists , and their little faces have such character ...

thanks for stopping in , hope that you like it

regards

Hello Art,
Wow, What a beauty this is and you've captured it so well on this flower. Excellent focus on the eyes, great sharpness and I love the colours! Even though the background is a bit busy it stands out very nicely.
TFS and cheers, Ulla

Hi Art!

BG is real modern art :-0 Just joking. Very good POV and composition, perfect details. I also like DOF with sharp eyes and blurred body.

I like it. The focus on the face, eyes and thorax is outstanding. The colors are nice and natural also. Great job!

hi Art,
superbe macro, le pov est bien choisi pour admirer ces grands yeux. Fantastique netteté, lumière bien maitrisée.
