I had a hard time finding positive identification for these dragonflies. I thought darters of some sort, but came up ambiguous. Anyway...

Canon EOS 450D
Lens: EFS 55-250mm IS
f/ 5.6
Shutter 1/125
ISO 100
HH
Cropped significantly to get up close, but I don't know exactly how much

Comments and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

Great color and detail. The only nit is that it would have been nice to have more room on the right. Maybe you could add some canvass there.
