i love dragonflies! there’s just something very fantasy/mythical about them. PLUS – they’re SHINY! 😀
Thanks black… photographing a dragonfly has been on my photo bucket list for a while.
If you’re interested, I found out after taking this shot that the critter pictured is actually a damselfly (rather than a dragonfly). They hold their wings vertically when at rest and have a gap between their eyes.
Compare to the photo of a dragonfly:

OOH!! ur right – i don’t think i woulda noticed the gap between the eyes if you didnt tell me.. subtle. 🙂 she’s prettier though 😀

Wow 😀 I’m amazed. Looks so damn good.
Did you invest on a macro lens?
Looking forward for more.
Cheers!
nice shot. Which lens did you use for this one?
@ Me-Shak & Dev – Thanks guys!
Just used a normal Oly 18-42mm kit lens (believe it or not).
