I went to the state park pond this morning where I normally photograph birds. The birds kept their distance but I saw many of these dragonflies by the water.

Great job on both. Still not in my portfolio and trying just makes me too crazy so not for me right now. Just love how they fold up those legs. Nice backgrounds and focus on both. I’d be happy with either!
Allen, that first df lined itself up very well for tip to tip sharpness. Of course, getting any df sharp in flight is quite an accomplishment. Well done.
These are pretty cool shots. Enough DOF to get the body in sharp focus. Have you thought about trying to get more DOF with smaller apertures? 1/3200 sec speed seems to freeze enough of the wingbeats for these type of photos. I like the BG in the second shot over the sky BG. Great series…Jim
