I went to a favorite pond area of mine to see if I could find a type of dragonfly that I had seen there before and came across a beautiful specimen! It is a male Twelve-spotted Skimmer (Libellula pulchella).

It's pretty obvious that a few people deliberately voted low for my photo after I critiqued their images and they couldn't take the constructive criticism. Okay, so maybe I was a little bit too honest in my comments. I guess I have to kiss butts from now on and no longer offer any suggestions. Yes, from now on I will only post positive comments telling everyone how great their photos are.
how would they know the photo they were voting on was yours?
Lovely shot, very well done, my only sort of suggestion (which I could not accomplish with my shot either) was to have less \'space\' behind him, giving him more room to \'fly\' into.
Nice shot - pretty amazing DOF with the wings pretty sharp from edge to edge. What lens did you take this with? The problem with this type of shot is that you don't get too see much detail, becasue the head/body are relatively small. Background is nicely blurred.
