I know on the grand scale of dragonfly captures that this is pretty unremarkable, but you have no idea how happy this makes me!
Turns out its a four spotted chaser, a common and widespread dragonfly, but to me it's so very special:)
Well done Suzanne! It is a lovely clear shot and yes, it is in focus. I am always happy to get one nearly as good as this. Seems to have a short body - I don't think I have seen that before.
Congratulations on your first dragonfly capture, Suzanne! Well done! I remember being so excited with my first and I'm still as excited when I get a shot of one because they're so difficult to capture. I think they're truly amazing insects and so beautiful! :-)
Good for you. There is always better shots out there but the important thing is alway what it does to the photographer. I have never even been close to shoot one myself.
