Guess I'll keep shooting dragonflies until I get a better shot. The problem is that they have no regard for where the best light is, nor do they care if they present their best side. Not to mention that they don't stay still very long. And no Coleen, I didn't use a cotten ball, I promise.

Nikon D2x
1/100s f/8.0 at 340.0mm iso250 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Well, I thought you had gotten it right the last time. This is fine, too, and I love the background--it has all the colors of the mosquito hawk.
