Hi,
Here's a broad bodied chaser, this one has a yellow back.

Shooting details:-
D300s, 300mm with 1.7 TC, 1/500sec at F/6.3, two images stacked.

Really nice, Tim! The colors, comp and clarity all look great!
I know this goes against the backlighting effect but I would be tempted to lighten and sharpen the head.

beautiful beautiful color on the body and wings! WOW! love the detail you have and even the little glints of light sparkling in the wings. I think I would crop off the bottom to above that big clump of stuff on the stem, and them maybe a bit off the top to keep the dragonfly out of the new center. lovely dragonfly!

Like it a lot Tim ...particularly the lighting and sweet bg !! You nailed the wings, parallel sure make a difference for sharpness !!!

Very good details, perfect wings, killer Bg and like the orange against green bg.

Very nice, Tim! I like how the backlighting makes the wings sparkle.
