Macro Shot Of A Dragonfly
Hi Y'all, I have been noticing lately that we have a lot of different bugs that are all known to me as a Dragonfly. So I have been trying to get some shots of them. I am posting one here to get any feedback on how I could improve the shot.
  The other "Dragonflys" are on my flickr site (clickable link is in my signiture) if you'd like to see them too. Thanks for looking and any critique.

I commented this on your Flickr before! I love this shot. Now I really want to try get a shot of a dragonfly too.
I'm sorry, I don't have any critique for you, though!

HI, this is a common blue damselfly, a quick way to tell them apart is the wings, a damsel will have their wings together like the one above, a dragonfly will be broader and its wings will be apart.
Nice shot, maybe clone out the broad leaf at the bottom of the picture, other than that well captured. Geoff
