Description
Lens still on macro.This Dragonfly was hovering about a meter above the water. I would have liked the body and face to be a bit sharper in focus. What is your thoughts on this capture?

MAGNIFICA !!!!!
I like the wing blur but perhaps a bit less, maybe 1/320 s or 1/500 s. It is very hard to get a focus lock on these guys, for each one I get in focus I throw about 150 away. Keep taking lots and lots of shots. Well done on this one! I have learned that many of these fly against a slight breeze, picking off small insects swept along in the air, and they often circle back and follow the same track many times if the breeze is slight. Perhaps that might help you a bit.
Great shot! Caught in the air! ;o)
Excellent macro!
Good shot my friend. A difficult macro.
great picture! you remember "my" flying dragonfly? I've done it !!! Sun, September 6, 2009 (at present on page 25)
Very nice picture. I like the wing blur, and the two little eyes looking at you. wonderful.
This is a great effort! You have succeeded where I have failed! Clive
Very nice! This is very difficult. Well done!
One of my favorite photos is a flying dragon. I may have a couple in my gallery. Well done!
WOW! WOW! WOW! This is super. I don't mind being so far behind in your gallery now, because it gives me a chance to see wonderful shots like this as I catch up. This is super! Really well done!
Wow... this could NOT have been easy. Amazing.
