Nice shot, Fred! I like the diagonal composition and how the insect's tail
and the plant tem seem to converge in the corner.
FWIW - that's a damselfly, not a dragonfly. Same order, different suborder.
The smaller damselflies are usually less likely to perch out in the open
like the dragonflies do.
Have fun!

Subject: PESO: My dragonfly...
Being inspired by Mark's stunning images I thought I'd
try some bug shots myself. I wandered around the small
park behind my house and came across this guy, who was
kind enough to stay in one place long enough for me to
take a few shots.

Nowhere close to Mark's work but a reasonable first
attempt. Wish I could persuade them to pose with open
wings like Mark does <G>.
