Thanks Jim. I thought I had a second image of the dragonfly - for some reason it did not make it in the original post. Here it is.

I like the second dragonfly. The lighting is a little less harsh (at least to my eyes). Very nice shots.

Both are very nice, clean, and clear images. Good dragon shots to have John.

I like the second image best, the flash effect is less noticeable and you've got both wing tips in..Well done John.
