These are amazing


I can not seem to find a dragon sitting still long enough to get a photo, they just fly around like crazy (the few i see around here).

Phil those close-ups of the head shots are just amazing :ivar
You've really got your stacking technique mastered!

How many shots would you usually do for one head shot?
between 3 and 5?

These are awesome Phil .... Skippy
