I agree with you Robert, there's only one proper name for this dragonfly and that's the one you gave it, lol.
Excellent post my friend (as usual).
Regards, Cornelius.
That is one gorgeous dragonfly! Wonderful details of his thin trim body, and well captured movement of his wings. His colours show up well on the gold background. Delightful to view more of your excellent work Robert!
Robert, we all see many wonderful insect, bird and animal images on this site but I have to say none of them are in the same league as this one. The clarity of the body and the movement of the wings is wonderful. I don't know how you set about taking such a picture but I'm very glad you did.

You are neither taxed nor fined if you look at My Gallery.
You could call it Mr Wimpy, and it still would be a terrific close-up!...
Clarity and composition is 'perfick'!!!
