    Nice shot Kostas but I think it is not quite sharp, I would suggest you use a little less flash, underexpose the flash fill in by at least 1.0 to 1.6EV.
    If you don't like using a tripod or monopod I would suggest try a garden cane or a piece of dowelling and hold it against the camera body adjacent to the lens, you simply slide the camera up or down leaning forwards or backwards, this won't cure movement but it will reduce it.

    Hi Kostas. A very colorful dragonfly nicely posed with good comp and background. Like Jonathan, I think the dragonfly isn't as sharp overall as it might be. Jonathan also has an interesting suggestion regarding camera support - I haven't tried that, but it should work quite well.
