OH my Ed this is an excellent close up capture of this fellow. Beautiful colours and detail. You can even see the black dot in his eye as the pupil in the full view.

Have you ever seen that movie.."Dragonfly Slayer"? LOL. That's a neat looking dragonfly. It DOES look like a tiger. Nice shot.

And a beautiful dragon it is! Nice clear shot of this unusual (for me at least) butterfly, Ed. Never seen one like that before!

Dragonflies are sure hard to capture, but you caught this one in a perfect pose. I've never seen one with this type of pattern on it's wings. A bit soft in detail, but the pose makes up for it. Nice work Ed.

Gosh you must have been quick on the draw with your camera here Ed. When ever I try to capture these, they dont stay still long enough! Well done!

Great capture Huck. I mostly see the black/grey ones around here. I don't think I have seen one this color either. The blurred background looks good.

Nice close-up. That's a color I haven't been able to catch yet. Great piece of work.

Is that ever a lovely dragonfly! I've never seen one like it. It's almost like a tiger/leopard dragonfly! lol Great capture, Ed. These guys aren't easy to get.

Beautiful creature but i feel it could do with the contrast increasing just slightly. Brilliant shot though :)
