#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.

Again, excellent pictures.

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

No flash, natural light handheld as always...
