I saw this beautiful fly land.outside and went back inside to get my camera. Amazingly he was still there when I got back and stayed very still while I got the right settings but I have to ask, am l the only one that thinks his face looks like a cartoon character?

[Diane]

No, i agree they do have amazing faces, you have even picked up the light on his face. Great shot.

[Rick Schies]

[Maggiemae]

He actually looks like I probably do when I can't remember which way is home! lol! Seriously its an excellent photo!

[Leslie]

[Daryl O'Hare]

They are such amazing creatures and will often smile for the camera and open and close its mouth. Your focus is wonderful here Katy!

[Jo Henn]

[Claire]

Brilliant shot, excellent angle

[W.MARK HATCH]

yup! cartoon all the way, great shot btw....

[Gillian]

Definitely cartoonish! And such fabulous colours. Simply love those fragile wings.

Your fly is of course a Blue dasher dragonfly. A secret to photographing dragonflies. If the fly off don't chase just wait a few minutes and it will return to the same spot again.
