This male Crimson Darter (Crocothemis servilia servilia) is perched opposite an exuvia as if it is paying homage to its past.

Striking Reds there, Gary on a smooth green background. Exuvia in the frame is a huge plus.

Whoa! check out that red! What a neat looking dragonfly. Interesting composition with nice details in the eyes and thorax. The light looks a little harsh, but the inclusion of the exuvia makes up for it. I also like the square crop.
Nicely done.

Beautiful red, Gary. The exuvia is a bonus.

WOW! What an awesome find Gary. I would have been pumped up just to find the exuvia let along having the DF perched oppisite of it. Great BG to add to the colorful DF. Nicely balanced composition. Well done.

Cool shot Gary, wish this was mine. Great plane of focus with both the dragon & exuvia in nicely.
Very good details, POV, BG, and that crimson red looks fab
Well done
