Wonderful,high quality capture on this,Joe.I think I read somewhere that you took this without even a tripod...the clarity is astouding when you consider that,especially at full focal length as Andreas says.Excellent done and great to see you doing well and posting again.-M :^)

ah it would've been so gorgeous if you could've gotten a second shot. I really love the POF on the wings and the clarity and detail there of. I don't like to dwell on the eye thing ... don't need my food looking at me :) wink And it's always a pleasure to comment on your work!

Superb macro shot ! Excellent composition and gorgeous palette of colors all in harmony. Could be improved if the focus was on the eyes better than backward (Yes I know it is very difficult and that these dragonflies let only a few chances to shoot them !)
