Dragonfly

Paul Iddon

It is a hawker of some description, taken at RSPB nature reserve Leighton Moss. I have a few images of it but from different distances, none of which were as sharp as this one. I know some parts are out due to the aperture of F/4 at 1/250sec on my nifty fifty last summer.

Light is a bit harsh- just strong sunlight ?

Yeah, directly over my shoulder, but I didn't want to startle him/her by creating a shadow cos they are kinda skittish.
