Interesting background - this is really cool, Donna! Great color and lighting. I'm surprised you shot this with the "big" lens!

Thanks for the comments Terry, Julio and Kim. . . oops! this was taken with my 105 macro handheld. . . the colors are real here. . . this dragonfly was very bright intense red. . hard to miss him. . . I have been told that it's possible to use the big lens with kenko tubes for bug photography. . I'm thinking about trying it. . .

Sarah, it's a look of exasperation. . . I took several shots and each time I snapped the shutter he flew off only to return to his favorite perch . . .

Nice shot. The background is really interesting and the dragonfly is amazing. What was in the background? That seems to be the greatest challenge for me in trying to capture these.

Hi Tim, thanks for your comment. . .this was taken around a little artificial pond surrounded by an assortment of reeds of different colors crisscrossing each other. . I was surprised to see how the background came out with the DOF effect. . . not what I had expected at all. . .
