Now take the shot so that I can fly off and then land back in this same spot about a half dozen times. If you ever get a chance watch these dragonflies you will see what he is talking about. After the 2nd or 3rd time I stopped trying to see where he was off to, and just waited for him to return.

Nice story and even better capture of this interesting insect. Very good composition with so many details.

I know it only too well ...
Once they sit, they pose though like no other fliers. LOL
This one has beautiful cheerful eyes regardless of being the green-eyed "monster".
Thanks, Joe.

Lovely colors and shot, Joe. I think you'll get greater impact with a much tighter crop from the top and right borders.

Background green is a tad distracting Joe!

Makes it difficult to 'see' the main subject of the dragonfly!

Nice clear capture, I see some advice has been given about the cropping, but we can still see the details very well. I learned that about them some time ago, just be patient. :) Tigs♥ =^..^=

Great clarity on the Dragon Fly, Joe.
They are fun to watch and they are like boomerangs.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Thanks to all of you. Yes Doug I was not thinking that’s what happened with the crop, I will put another one up.
As for the background, I had no control over that. I was on a small dock and the dragonfly was on a piece of dead grass in the lake. The green background was lily pads. I will take a look at it after the crop
and see a bout the background.
Thanks again.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
