Rough Courtship

[Loupey]

if you're 6 legged that is!

These two are from my favorite pond this afternoon.

The two dragonflies were being harassed by another one of a different species. I was actually shooting that 3rd one when the pair violated his territory.

What an amazing capture, you really do a great job in bringing these little creatures to their full potential. I tried taking some macro shots of one of these guys whilst away,its been ages since i used my 50mm, but it doesnt match yours! il post it later for your comments.

Damb.. I love that top image! The DOF looks perfect with the subject sharp and the BG blurred.
