Red Dragon

I rarely shoot DF images, so an ID would be much appreciated. In fact it's my first DF post on NPN. I'm guessing it's a Red Skimmer of some sort. I got to Jean Lafitte NP late this morning so this was shot in breezy conditions. It can be quite a challenge there getting a fairly uncluttered framing with the larger critters among all the saw grass and other sedges. As I remember this guy was about 6-7 feet away, so I cropped a bit to simplify it. I used a wide aperture in an attempt to defocus the surroundings. While it's not the sharpest image, fortunately the legs and most of the body and wings were in pretty decent focus. I liked the frontal angle, the warm tones of the subject and perch against the contrasting BG greenery. I did a little shadow/highlight tweaking but no other changes.
