Just Before Flight
by Markjay

Those who have seen my work, know that I VERY rarely display "bug images".
So, on a hot summer day in the park I took the plunge and, this was my first
ever dragonfly image. I know... it's not one of those amazing up in your
face shots but, I'm still learning :-)

Mark, I like how this dragonfly is poised on the stick, ready for flight here. Nice color and blur in the background...good sense of transparency in the wings. I've never shot a dragonfly before either...looks like you're off to a good start photographing this new subject. MFC
