On our way to MI from our winter home in S. TX, our RV park had a pond; we found a few different Ode species - this one's a Baskettail, but I'm not sure a more specific ID is possible based on this photo.

I really like seeing the wings in motion and the nice bright, clear eye and body. Makes me think of a helicopter.

Beautifully done!

I have tried photographing dragonflies in flight before and know it can be a challenge. You have done a great job with this one.

Great capture!
Congratulations, it is really difficult to catch these ultrafast beings.
I really like the detail on the head.

Nicely done Craig, they can be quite the challenge to capture in flight
