This little dragonfly landed on the wooden handrail, right in front of me, when I was visiting the nature reserve by the lake Hjälmaren. I had to take a picture of course :-).

All comments are most welcome. I thank you in advance for taking the time. Always greatly appreciated!

It had seen you with your camera. Therefore it's posing that willingly for you Susanne, lol.

Thanks for this good close-up. Well done!

Regards, Cornelius.

You got a very good shot of the dragon fly with sharp focus Susanne. The designs on the wings are so clear.

Until you see them close up, you don't realise how truly beautiful and amazing these creatures are. Really super work Susanne.

Hey, it's the butt end of one. It's is view point that not any us see b/c dragonflies to are too busy to sit still long enough. Nice job on the detail and clarity of this.

Susanne - Outstanding DOF and lighting on this 'golden' dragonfly. (Today, while working t the house, one landed on the back of my hand and stayed a while; oh how I wish I had a camera in the other hand.) Thad

He/she looks like they're at the end of the runway waiting for take off clearance. Great angle and lighting.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
