Oct 15 - Dragonfly Visitor

I've never seen a dragonfly in the garden before so had to click this one as it warmed itself on a rock. Next time he visits I hope he picks a more photogenic place to land.

Still working on the fine focussing needed and I may be slightly off this time :0(

Nikon D300S ,Nikkor 105mm f/2.8D AF Micro
1/200s f/18.0 at 105.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Looks like a Common Darter, well captured too, stands out well against the stonework.
