A fine looking Dragon capture, Sandi. The colour and detail is excellent and I like your title. A lot of little critters won't let you use a tripod. Maybe better luck with a monopod also sometimes known as a "Camera of a stick". Nice work, Saved.

I'd prefer cheese, & pineapple on a stick Tigs, but I understand Dragonflies are very nutritious so maybe.............................

Well done on this superb upload my friend.

It looks like it is holding on for dear life Tigz. I like the head on view. Colors are great. Another super one from your camera to us. We really admire the middle (wo)man.
