My first - somewhat good - shot of a dragonfly...

Man.. this was definately by luck I caught this... I went for a walk in the garden right after it had rained, and as I was walking around a tree we have in the garden with low-hanging branches, I spotted this fella sitting on a leaf.

*Note to self - get a flash bracket to improve lighting*

C&C very welcome..

lovely shot..bad idea tho uploading your images full size at flickr..people steal them on a regular basis..i would save the original on your hardrive and only upload 1000x700 image for flickr
