You must have found the dragonfly when it wasn't looking! I haven't had such luck. It seems all the damselflies and dragonflies I've tried to soot are all camera shy. Whenever teh camera points in their general direction, they're gone!

Any way xD Not only is it a great shot of a dragonfly, the blue is great against the brown background!

And those swans are wonderful.

Wow these dragonflies are so beautiful and this one is a lovely colour and great detail too. I hope you asked before photographing the two lovely ladies lol The swans are gorgeous Frank and nice to get the black and white ones together. Great work buddy.

Thanks everybody for all the nice comments. The black swan was in this lake full of white swans and it stood out like a fly in milk. I never seen a black swan around here so I kept driving around the lake trying to get a good image. When I got home I did a search and black swans are usually only found in Australia.

Thanks
Frank

Here is a Pano of the lake with all the swans
