I captured this image at CircleB Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. Legs tucked up, wings working independently of each other, the wonder and beauty of nature. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Hi Bob, try to find one that is hovering, they normally turn into the wind.

A fine capture Jo well done, it is very rewarding when one like this appears on the camera screen. the dragonfly contrasts well wit the background showing its fine details.

Nice in flight catch with a pleasing BG. The details seem good especially the abdomen. A tough image to get - nice one.
