Good capture and nice play of OOF.
HA HA Shirley, me too I'm tired to see immobile dragonflies (or other bugs)... until you finally decide to change your lens to shoot it, given the excellent opportunity :oD

Awww it was the bug getting buggy. Now as soon as Olympus makes a camera small enough to attach to a dragon fly, well maybe they went to far! You did get a lot of nice detail. I don't know how everyone sees dragonflies sitting still to take a photo. The ones here only hold still when in contact with my grill or windshield.

I like all the detail of the dragonflies against that creamy bokeh.
