Walking around with the MPE65 in my hand while the light level was getting less and less and this fella popped into view. It had probably called it a day and was resting on the blade of grass. Because it had these coloured patches on its wing I know I had to try to capture something. Had to change lens again. Once long ago, I only had my MPE and nothing else and a cobra paid me a visit. Could not shoot the cobra.It was most surreal.No kidding.

What a pretty dragonfly! Love the composition, the beautiful details and the shininess in the wings.

This is just amazing! The colors in the wings...the detail...I love the cropped effect-don't miss the whole dragonfly at all- it's very pleasing to be so close.
