Oh my ... This beats me how you keep them still for a fraction of a second, this most essential fraction of a second. :)
Fantastic catch - never seen any wearing red gala dress. Blue, yes, green too, but never red !

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

This is the first time that I see a red dragonfly on an image.
Great shot Christian. The details and colors are very clear. Very well done!

Love dragonflies! I've never seen one this red. This isn't just red, it's red hot cinnamon. Great image.
