Found this dragonfly along the swampy backwater banks of Wheeler Wildlife Refuge in Decatur Alabama. There are many different kinds and colors. Some with pale see through wings to some that are like this one.

Well done Frank. Super sharp and excellent comp. Nice color. It's a little odd though, makes me twist my head trying to figure out what's wings and what's his body. Great shot. anne :-)

Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)

Nice capture of this little poser. I like the burred seperation of the background.

I like how he just sticks right out at the edge of that leaf. Neat colorations, good clarity. Thanks for the post!

I agree with Ann, I too had to turn my head almost around backwards. Love it colors and everything.
