Dragonfly Portrait

Pretty cool story here: I'm not one to net insects just to photograph

them - half the thrill is in the hunt! This is difficult with

dragonflies because they have excellent eyesight. Luckily for me,

this female was skimming the water and the wake from a small boat

caught her and she fell into the water. I watched as she swam to

shore with her wings and somehow managed to fly to a nearby tree.

Either due to fatigue or wet wings, she didn't fly away when I

approached, so I took advantage and got several shots. Any thoughts?
