I discovered this dragonfly floundering in a small pool of water. I picked him out of the water to help dry out the wings. Since the wings were wet there was no way to fly away so the model had to stay. This was taken with my Nikon 24-85mm lens in macro mode and handheld, hence it is not the sharpest. Later on we could not locate him so hope he flew away.

Whow... DOF for me is perfect. The head and the thorax are sharp and the rest draws the focal attention straight to the head. A beauty!

This is a lovely shot of the mosquito hawk (what we call them). You have managed to capture a very detailed shot of his head and upper body, especially.
