    Kind of risky posting another dragon fly with the same subject as the feature photo, but I thought it worth sharing.

    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.

    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.

    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.
