 Dragonfly by Sturgeon Creek, a small creek near our home where we often go walking with the kids. Rarely see ones like this, usually just the little blue ones or damselflies. This guy was the prefect model - he'd fly away every once in a while, only to come right back! I had to hang over the water to get this - hubby holding one hand, the other stretched out with the camera at full zoom! Kind of nasty smelling water, so really happy I didn't end up falling in!

What a great macro shot. The focus on the dragonfly is spot on and I also like the detail of the web on the left.

What an amazing shot. You can see that dragonfly has been around a bit - there is so much damage to it's wings.

Beautiful capture. In the thumbnail, he looks like he's made out of some sort of silvery metal.
