Some fall morning dragons - 10-01-2011, 03:51 PM

Critique: CC:

Went over to Garfield on this fine fall morning. Beautiful day to be out...for TX.

#1 Checkered setwing female (horrible background but sometimes you take what you can get)

#2 Thornbush dasher male

#3 And, a first for me: incoming thornbush dasher

The inflight shots take a lot of practice even when you 'spray and pray'. I should've had the perch further right in the frame and a tad more shutterspeed.

The second image is a winner, Kenny - sharp, great wing details. You just missed on the third image

I agree with John on image #2. I don't think the background for #1 is all that bad. Busy, yes.
