...and bit closer, lanscape. Previous one works better though. That reflection just is too good. .n

Coolnes and I also love #4 most. BTW, how do you'll get this little critters to stay still untill one can frame his picture and shot?? Tried this several times but without much success. cheers Thomas

I didn't know they laid their eggs under water. Interesting, and great close ups. #4 & 5 are very cool.

I'm really diggin' these dragonfly pics. #4 is my favorite, too. :-) Too bad I haven't taken a pic of a live one. :-( (*

I love dragonflies....they are absolutely my most favorite bugs, and I think they are beautiful. These are wonderful shots Nico...so cool that she stayed still for you...they are tough to catch!

I am, therefore I create.......

zardoz, you cant imagine the time it took to get this close. This one was laying eggs, so I think she got better things to do than avoid me. And I shot over two rolls of film, getting about ten good pics. .n

Nice shots Niko a great subject to snap and some difficult lighting by the looks of it, bet we see these wings turn up somewhere. :O)
