Swift Setwing Dragonfly

Seen this morning at a local lake. It’s been 14 years since I’ve been able to photograph this species. Glad I found one again today.

Wow Allen! That’s fantastic! Great detail, color and lighting with a very nice background. No nits from me. Well done!

A nice shot, Allen. I’m so glad that you found him too. I really love dragonflies and enjoy photographing them. Nice details in the DF, and the BG makes him stand out nicely. I also like the perch, so many times I find them on a broken stem/limb.

Beautiful capture, Allen. Good details in the df and a nice bg, but the perch sells the whole thing for me.
