Default Orange Dragonfly
I spotted this guy hanging out on my car's antenna. He kept flying back to it again and again. I was very lucky to have plenty of time not only to grab my camera, but take many shots of him.

Nice shot. I know how difficult it is to shoot a dragonfly. They just keep on moving around. I liked the wings, they have come in perfect focus.
