Default Dragonfly ready for take-off
I was looking through some photos from last year and found this one which I dropped into Elements and tightened up on the insect as the original had too much of the paving and was really happy with the result - love the detail and reflection of the wings - always learning

Dragonfly - Rhodes

Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/480)
Aperture: f/8.0
Focal Length: 66.7 mm

Nice shot. I kind of get the feeling it is in contact with the tower - Flight # 1 you are cleared for take-off.
