It has been a very unproductive year and the last photo trip I made was to Donna in January. My new macro lens hardly saw daylight in summer and certainly no dragonflies. My 100-400mm has only been used for sport and my 400mm DO has been left at home more than going out.

So this shot is from the archives as I needed something for a club competition next week.....

Canon 300d, Sigma 50-500mm, Photoshop

Superb pose and nicely isolated against that cracking background. I wonder if it could do with a little more brightening or perhaps a little less contrast? Good luck with the competition.
