    Terrific job on some of my favorite subjects! Getting close to some of these species is not easy.

    My favorites are #9, #10, and #11.

    They all varied. Most of the damsels I was fairly close to, using my 300mm and full set of extension tubes. Dragons were however close I could get with out flushing them
