  These are amazing
  
  
  I can not seem to find a dragon sitting still long enough to get a photo, they just fly around like crazy (the few i see around here).

  Phil those close-ups of the head shots are just amazing :ivar
  You've really got your stacking technique mastered!
  
  How many shots would you usually do for one head shot?
  between 3 and 5?
  
  These are awesome Phil .... Skippy
