    I would say that it's a white admiral from that link, but dragonflies aren't my forte.

    Knight - that top one in the series is great, great, GREAT! Is it the same specimen as the middle one? Did you move around the same 'fly? If so, that is great exploitation of an opportunity.

    The back-lighting is dramatic and detail within the DOF is fantastic as is the dark background. Do me a favor and make a BIG wall print for your wall for me :thumbsup:
