  Hey Brian,
  I sound like a broken record but great shots as always. I am curious on the second shot there are blown patches , were those from the flash or would they have been there anyway?

  Thanks 4labs- blown patches on the front are from my flash- think the highlights on the eyes would have been there anyway. I was shooting this from below him but he did insist on looking down to see what I was doing .

  No head hanging in shame your pic is very good- you should see my pics from about 4 months ago! Just need lots of practice.
  The front of the lens would have been about 5" away from the dragonfly- I was sitting on the ground looking up at it whilst it was looking down at me!
  These Darters seem fairly tame.
