I managed to catch this Blue Dasher laying her eggs in my backyard pond yesterday. Cropped to 55% of full frame. I have a number of different positions, but like this one because it caught the tail dip when she releases a single egg.

7D2, 100-400 IS II @ 400 mm, 1/2000 s, f/7.1, iso 800.

A great capture of nature in action, Mark! Wonderful details in the DF, and a very nice ripple in the water where the action is. Perfect timing.
