Very cool. Looks to have been too hot and sunny for this one. Blue dashers are so photogenic. I have a shot of one this year, but not in such a dramatic pose. Super detail all through from the spiky legs to the dark tail tip. Don’t you love their eyes? Really dramatic shot.
Just beautiful, Allen. What a pose she gave you. My first thought was it looks like a dancer. Nice BG to make the DF stand out nicely too.

It seems to have a transparent thorax - optical illusion? Super shot all round, Allen!

Allen: Cool perch and pose and it is neat that the thorax color matches the BG. Most excellent. >=))>
Great shot, Allen. I love the pose and your techs are spot on.
