#2 - I actually had another darter sitting on top of my head as I was taking close-ups. Everyone's a critic, eh? :)

#3 An emporer dragonfly laying her eggs. This is about a 50% crop, she was sticking to the middle of the pond and I couldn't get any closer.

Dunno about being on a roll, it's more like shooting fish in a barrel!

They're all shot with a Sigma 70-300 DG Macro, sometimes with a kenko tube or two added for good measure.

Excellent shots. The 2nd and 3rd are especially outstanding. Did you use flash at all?

No flash, natural light handheld as always...
