Believe it or not this is a Unicorn Hunter. Not that we have many Unicorns around here. Mind you I’m no expert on Dragonflies or Unicorns. So if I’m wrong please correct me.

Fabulous shot, Robert! I've never seen this sort before. I love the way you captured the angle of the wings. He definitely looks ready to take flight.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.

Great pic. Sculptured quality in the detail of the elusive insect. Strong depth of field always helps with these images as well. Nice !

What an interesting insect! Maybe they are becoming extinct like the unicorns and that's why I've never seen one before. Beautiful clarity and dof!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

A remarkable shot and interesting subject. Quite a beauty for an insect :) Wonderful details - love the big eye, his colours & those delicate wings. Terrific clarity. It looks like he's posing for you. Thanks Robert, for this fine fellow :)
