Blue Dragon

An older shot I never got around to processing. I only noticed this morning what appears to be an ant in front of the dragonfly - Blue Dasher?

Pentax 100; f13@ 125th; ISO 200; HH; approx. 25% FF.

All comments and suggestions most welcome.

Nice perch and comp, Tom. The smaller image looks a bit over sharpened, but the larger image looks good. :wavey:

Tom:
As good as any DF shot I have seen. Nice to get head to toe sharpness. :toast:

Tom, my guess is a male Slaty Skimmer. Nice sharpness to my eye & good detail - hard to capture with this color of insect. Pity the small insect isn't completely visible.
