Here's a fellow I found in some tall grass along the Coquille river. I believe he had just molted since it looked a little soft and wrinkled compaired to the other dragonflies ... and it didn't fly away when I got all up in its face. :biggrin:

Canon 300D, f/22, 1/200, ISO 200, stacked macro filters on 50mm prime, speedlite flash with difuser.

Here's an extreem close-up image of the same bug. Used an old reversed lens on 50mm prime, also with difused flash and same camera settings.

Wow. That's a great image. The extreme closeup is awesome, Andy.
