Interesting light on the subjects, they stand out well in this darker environment Rick. Like the leaf perch a lot..
Tough to get em' out in the clear like this, most of my recent attempts put them too near other grasses..
Well done

Excellent capture, Rick. I really like the blue dragonflies perched on the contrasting yellow leaf. Good decision of the cpl to eliminate distracting water reflections. Lots of great dragonfly/damselfly images posted lately, including this fine image.

Aptly titled, Rick! To me the strengths of this image are the leaf perch and the smaller dragonfly. Sharpness is fine everywhere it's needed but that light on head and upper body of the first dragonfly seems pretty harsh and detail-erasing to me. I expect that these bugs like bright sunshine!
