My first dragonfly of the year closeups

Some more shots of the broad bodied chaser that visited the other day - all 5Dmk2/MPE-65 shots taken with full flash but still have bright sun reflections.

What can I say? You are the master! Striking images one and all! The wings on #3 are out of this world!

Wonderful shots, Brian. I vote for #3 as well. The detail is fantastic.

I agree: all magnificent, but #3 is the most interesting, because it is a perspective one rarely sees.

Thanks Phil
THis particular one did seem rather laid back that day. It has been in the garden since and I can't get any closer than a foot away.

All in credible as always, but #3 with the yellow & black wing detail is a bonus.
