My wife saw this and that was the first thing out of her mouth. "Call him Flitter!!"

My attempt at a close-up with Nikon D70 and Sigma 70-300 Lens.

Flitter it is Opie. A very good shot of the DF and the DOF is good as well. Your closeup is really good. You and JimboB have gone to a level I am unfamiliar with. Very nice.

Amazing photo Paul! Those wings are something! I can't imagine being able to get a Dragonfly to be still long enough to take a picture! Did you find a way to magically mezmerize this one??!!
How fortunate you were to get this beauty, such grand photography. Be proud my friend!! Verena

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. ~A.A. Milne

I particularly like the golden tints/reflections, adds a touch of extra magic.
