    I know! Though, it's a total facade. They are mean and they bite! Especially when you are on a golf course shooting out a water hazard. You wind up your shot and CHOMP! the dragonfly made off with your elbow flaps!

    These look great. The circle technique was one I discovered independently by fooling around in the editing program (whatever it was back then, four or five years ago) - but I used it on a picture of peaches. Now I think I will have to relearn it to use on some of my own fireworks shots. Thanks for the idea.

    Wow, those are awesome, TLee. How do you get your backgrounds to be consistently black? Mine seem to pick random colors. Thanks.

    I make a selection around the circle, then reverse the selection, and change the background to black.
