Val, I am so jealous. I have tried so many times to get just one good shot of the dragonflies in my yard. I can't seem to convince them to pose or the lighting is never right. Val, you have brought all the disadvantages to a perfect capture, with stunning colors and wonderful details. Just beautiful my friend. #10798287Michelle Alton August 06, 2013
