Talk about making it hard on yourself, but the Machine Gun hasn't let me down yet :D

Could not get the eyes but I think the wings are just about right

Go getem Thomas, DIF's that is and then showem to us :thumb
Here's a tip:
spend some time watching flight patterns, they will stop and hover in the same place over and over again, that's when you can nail em :thumb good luck :D

Hi Ya bfjr.... least you have Dragonflies to even attempt to take photo's of :D
I'm hoping when I get to Montana that I get to find bunches of cool bugs and critters.....fingers crossed.

Do the Dragonflies tend to hover? or do they just take off ?
You rarely ever see them where I am, and the ones I see you guys from the States post appear to be quite large, so that's also gotta be a bonus for you.

To catch them in flight looks like it's not easy to do hu :scratch
You done a great job with this series, very impressive indeed.
Well done....thanks for sharing........ Skippy (Australia)
