You better share this! :thumbsup: LOL Fantastic macro work.

I love the tack sharp detail in this wonderful composition.One can actually feel the balance that exists here. Quite impressive results.
What macro lense did you use?Do tell.

Thank you !

Rick,

Thanks very much. You are too kind.

The lens is a Tamron 28-300 with my XTi. The dragon fly was quite cooperative and posed for me for quite some time. I had a monopod with me walking along the edge of a lake in northern Minnesota this past Tuesday, late afternoon. I was able to get within inches of the "fly" for this shot.

Thanks again.

Frog/Tyson:

Thanks so much for the comments. Very nice of you. Between you and me, this photo gives me the creeps. I hate bugs.

Great shot. Almost seems classical. What is the dragonfly holding onto? Seems like an upside down icicle (not likely!)

Thanks very much for the comments. To be honest, I don't know what the DF is holding on to but I am certain it is not an icicle. Perhaps in a couple of months, however.

This is just a fantastic shot. I just don't know what else to say. But you were glad you had your camera and monopod. Thanks for sharing.

MW,

The fact you commented is enough. I appreciate the kind words and your time to leave them.
