Great shots Allen, what's he hanging on to ??
I've finally learned that they make great Egret snacks :rofl :D

These show alittle more detail of the underside.

Neat Shots! :thumb His color fits in well with the Anetenna, he almost has a chrome appearance to him.

I was hoping for the 3 headed fire breathing variety. :): Nice shots. Like the color, sharpness of those. I've not nailed (or seen) a dragonfly yet. :dunno Someday soon..perhaps?

Cheers

It looks like she is hanging onto that crome knob for dear life.:D

I did not see in your profile what camera you are shooting with, Allen.

Are you using a P&S or a DSLR? The background could be more blurred if shot at a wider aperature if you are using a DSLR. WIth a P&S, it will be harder to blur the background more due to the greater DOF of the smaller lenses and sensors.

A quote from Nic "proud owner of $1,000 8mp small camera".:rofl Shooting up close in macro I
had the 828 at f8. I did run a heavy NR on the background and probably should have
added a bit of blur.
Thanks fo the comments,
