[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was taking photos of ducks on the pond, when I noticed this dragonfly. First I use my telephoto lens, but when it didn't move I went to the car for macro lens. I hoped I will find it or may be there will be more of them. To my surprise it was still there on the same stem. It allowed me to go close and close with the tripod, I couldn't believe it, I made a lot of noise. I start to be worry, that it is dead, but wasn't. One more step and it flew away.:)

Hello Zdenka,

Wow! What a superb picture!!! The water drop at the bottom of head is great! I like the composition, the pov, the colours...

Do you know the name of that odanata?

TFS,
Michel

Very good picture of this dragonfly. Good DOF and sharpness

Goodness gracious! How closer could one get than that, Zdenka? You have got even the water drop on its chin the size of a tennis ball!
Superb close-up "portrait" of this friendly dragonfly with remarkable DOF and details.

Hello Zdenka,
great sharp close macro portrait of a dragonfly with a drop of water on its face. Excellent composition too. This deserves more credit!
I'm not sure of the ID but I think it might be Othetrum caledonicum.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
Ivan
