 its dragonfly mating season in my area.
so it wasnt very hard to get this shot.
but i still had to walk a long way to get to the area thats got thousands of them.
...capturing a dragonfly is basically impossible.
my neck is so burned from sitting in the sun.
ahh well. it was worth it.

Very nice work! Okay, so it's a bit noisy but then I can imagine the ISO was cranked up to freeze the motion. This should be on the front page.

Nice capture, I love Dragonflies although they can be creepy when you dont see them until they are right in your face!

WOW that is excellent. Not a huge bug fan, but this is spectacular. I love the red of the thorax and tail. Beautiful bokeh.

It looks like you cloned out a twig or leaf or something that he was perched on. I've seen tons of dragonflies and this is their pose when they are perched, not when they are flying. It just looks unnatural, like he's suspended in air.

Good catch! (I hope)
