This male common darter seemed to know what modelling for a camera was all about

Excellent as always Lord V! That first image deserves to be printed on canvas and framed!...

Thanks Thusie
Yes Love the MPE-65 but it has had an unexpected benefit. I use the MPE-65 on my 20D body with the flash rig, but have started using my old sigma 105 on my old 300D body for natural light shots- something I didn't do much of before. All the shots above apart from the head closeup were taken in natural light with my 105mm EX.

Thanks for the comments/comliments Kevin, Nick, Skippy,bigpix and Dalantech.
It was definitely the dragonfly showing off here- I took about 50 shots of it altogether
