    Place an "X" on the spot where you think is the dragonfly's head.

    Nice one Loupey - I have finally stopped laughing.

    How you take photo's of dragon flies in flight I have no idea. Honour is due.

    Guess what - I just bought some last sunday and been experimenting.

    using careful mathematical equations and high end photoshop plugins I was able to extrapolate, magnify, and enhance the image of the dragonfly.

    Which? Dragonflies or extension tubes? I assume the latter.

    Great! Looking forward to seeing your results with them. I'm sure you will be another "satisfied customer" soon :thumbsup:

    Re: Using your skill and judgement ...

    Maybe this is an anti-climax
    But with a 200% crop from the original image, and a 100% crop with the tubes, I can show you where it was.

    You came close, Loupey :thumbsup:
    But even at 10 cents a play, you lose more than you win in prize money :cryin:
