Bucket List #2: dragonfly by corymbia

Bucket List #2: dragonfly

So rare for them to present themselves in a pose. Of course, this one sat perfectly still while I sent a child off to grab my camera. Managed to snap one shot with the wrong lens before the camera told me the CF card was full and while I was deleting some photos ... the dragonfly flew away so this is my one and only shot and I'm not happy with the focus.
(I have actually already crossed "dragonfly" off my bucket list - http://365project.org/corymbia/365/2011-09-27)

Update: So happy to see this on the pop page this morning (17/4). Thanks everybody for making my day with your kind comments and favs :)

This dragonfly looks beautiful! Nice shot! I hope you get more opportunities to shoot them. I've seen dragonflies but they never seem to stay still long enough for me to get a good focus on either.
