What a beauty he is too! Great angle and focus on a dragonfly I've never seen.

Thanks Heather. First I took 2 easy shots from the back. Because it didn't fly off (as usual) I took a chance to move in front and lowered my body for that shot. I was surprised and quite happy that it did not fly off right away.

Nice spotting and composition Yves. That is one interesting dragonfly.
