This is wonderful for your first and I bet Leeco can tell us what it is. Now that you know how to do dragonflies, I figure we'll see more from you. :-)

Gimme a minute and I can probably tell you the breed of dragonfly this is...or not...but that's beside the point. It's a great photo, rather tender and beautifully executed!

You're kidding! Your 1st? Way better than my first - I can tell you that. It looks like a Halloween Pennant. (Only know that because I had one a short while ago and dug that up...) Good pose and composition - just a little too soft in focus - but good anyway.

WooHoo!!! Congratulations and well done. The first is always the hardest, lol. Then you realize it can actually be done so you try some more but with a more positive attitude. Your success rate will go up and the world will be good. IMHO kjpweb is absolutely correct about the species. Probably a female or juvenile male. The yellow body markings, wing veins, and face become red in mature males. I take lots and lots of dragonfly pics and one keeper shot out of three is good results, lol. I agree again with kjpweb about the focus but I bet that could be helped a lot with some digital editing. I use paintshop Pro XI on most of my images to tweak the sharpness. It is not out of focus mind you, as kjpweb noted, it is just a bit soft. The composition and lighting and background and color harmonies are all great. You can bet your sweet bippy I would have proudly posted this as my first Dragonfly capture. Heck, truth be told, I would post it as my 100th, lol. Thanks for sharing. Lee
