    ISO 1000 1/1000 sec f11 (I guessed the shutter speed, I wanted wing movement but I also wanted the head to be sharp.)
    ACR + PSCC

    At last I am getting a few more dragonflies in the back garden, she has just oviposited, you can see the ripples toward the base of the image.

    Like the motion in the wings. At first wasn't sure about the grasses. But gives a nice sense of Environment.

    A nice behavioral shot, Jon! You were successful in getting the head sharp plus wing motion - I'm a bit surprised to see so much motion at 1/1000 - those wing must really be cranking!
