Dragonfly

Or maybe it's a damselfly. Who knows?

Looks like the focal point was a little far back, rather than on its head, but I'm pretty happy with it nonetheless. Considering it was handheld at 300mm, I'm not going to complain.

• The downturn of the wings and the expressive 'face' make this creature look so sad!

• The colour hues in this photo are fantastic! A pity about the eyes not being in focus, but it isn't too bad.

• I wonder if my coming Summer will be the one where I get to photograph one of these critters as well as this . . I just have not got the hang of it to date.

• You should be happy. I saw the exif on flickr. 300mm is great work.
