Very nice indeed great position of the wings and legs - well done:cheers:
I don't know what species it is but it looks like a slightly heavier version of what we would call a darter = hawkers I think over there?

Joe you have some super detail on this with all the wing segments showing well,all on a 400mm very well done.

What a wonderful capture! Everything sharp except the wings, which looks like motion blur and adds to the action. And a color-coordinated perch!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Pretty cool BIF (bug in flight!). I like the legs deployed ready for landing. Good variation to the BG to add interest there too.

Very nice detail on your flying DF - not an easy thing to do - and something I have yet to accomplish. Very well done!
