Unstable dragonfly

There was quite a bit of wind, which made the landing platform a bit

hard to target for this dragonfly. He got it, but not as straight as

probably expected.

Thanks for the very positive comments.

Jennifer, there is no special magic about getting it sharp. A good lens closed down just the right amount, a fast shutter speed to stop all movement, and being sufficently stuborn to wait, try and retry until it feels right. Of course, it also helps that you are looking at a rather small version.
