He totally captivated me for a while. He would land on a perch so close that I had to keep backing away to get him in focus. At one point I put my finger in front of him and he hopped on just like a budgie would.

He looks like he's in the mating position.. I got a picture of one similar to this (thought my auto focus wasn't working (still isn't) so it came out a bit blurry (i'm not that great at manual), but is a blue dragon fly :) Great shot, Thanks for sharing :)

Great shot! How did you get him to sit still while you spray painted him? Masking the wings off would be the tough part. Good work.

Awesome picture, and I agree with what everyone has said so far... I'm not sure I like the way you set this off-center, though. I'm a stickler for symmetry!

I am jealous 'cause I haven't managed to get a decent shot of one yet!
