Just so happen to see the dragon fly land on a nearby branch and decided to take a serious of photos of it. Used natural sunlight on a day where the lighting would change from bright to dark based on the clouds.

Greetings from the CC. This is a good use of DOF and nice subject. I really like the light on the back wings tho I do wish the eyes were a bit clearer/sharper and that the foreground wing was sharp. Tho this is a unique take. I think you overall have a nice image, I think it would be stunning if the dragon was facing the viewer.

Nice work keep it up!

Love how it fills the frame. The nice dark green background makes this pop. A 10.

Great detail and lighting. The dragonfly is at a bit of an awkward to really display the wings, but still a great photo. Well done!
