Great shot Rob! I was going through all the birds and planes and wondering if anyone would dare shoot an insect after all the recent carping about them. I've tried capturing dragonflies a couple of times and its really hard.
You were able to capture some really beautiful colors in the dragonfly. The blurring of the wings help to give a dynamic motion feeling. The depth of field really help to bring out the dragonfly.
Wow, what a difficult subject to try to photograph 10 out 10 for the attempt but in this field I award you an 8. An above or below view point would have let me vote higher.
Good one, I love the olivey green tones in the background. A pity you couldn't have frozen it completely and avoided the motion blur on the left wing, but I know how difficult it is to capture something like this in flight so I'm not complaining at all :-)
nice capture - do you happen to know what kind of dragonfly it is? I have caught the top half of one but never the whole thing and wondered about the kind
Don't know how you got this but it's pretty cool. I like that you didn't use a higher speed to freeze its wings. I think freezing them would've made this look fake. Good luck in the challenge.
