Canon7D,70-300mmlens on monopod,1/2000sec,f8,ISO800. bright cloud, approx 60% of original.
For the first time I was able to get 3 species (Eastern Pondhawk, Dot-tail Whiteface, blue Dasher) in one image. Very territorial at this time of year, especially the little dot-tail.

Remarkable image, Roger, especially with the detail achieved with the one in flight. Three different species makes this truly remarkable. Many kudos. :toast:
