My first challenge with my new camera and my new lens. I took this shot while testing the camera, I liked it so I decided to find a Rolling Stone song that would fit it :)

Very impressive shot! I don't think I've ever seen a shot of a dragonfly in flight. I love the focus on the entire head and body, and the depth of field.
Clever. Nice shot, too. Mid-flight dragonflies in focus has always been something I wanted to accomplish, which I have now, though nothing as nice as this. Problem with these is that they always want their back to the sun so their faces are always dark and difficult to see (with basic editing, anyways). Very good capture.
Great job freezing the motion on this guy. Some strategic cropping would remove the white hot spots on the right and bring its flying direction INTO the shot.
