    Your best dragonfly in flight pose so far. Well my favorite at least.

    That AF rocks... Or, is it you... Either way, love this. I'm not sure why, but I even love the very dark parts of BG. Seems to add to the mood. TFS

    Agree with John on this. One of the best in flight images of dragonfly. Great background and colors done very well.

    Thanks David, I am trying to minimise manipulation of the background because I want the images to be as truthful as possible, I may have a future use for (some) them in those circumstances digital manipulation is barely permitted.
