just out of curiosity, what kind of distance did you have from lens and subject/dragonfly ?

The second picture is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also like the first picture but I think the light in it was hard and did some damage to the picture...
Did you used a flash in the second one?

Amazing shots Rick, love both of 'em! Very very sharp, nice colours and I like the bokeh effect.

Thank you all so much for the very kind words on these. As for Lenses used. The first did not want to let me get close, so I used my Canon 70-300 IS ( my wife relinquised the Death Grip she had on it) the distance on the first one was roughly 6 feet, hand-held, minimal Flash. I did have a 20mm Extension tube on it as well. the second one was more agreeable, I used the Sigma 150 on it, with a 20mm Ext. tube as well. Distance was 3 Feet. Thanks again.:D :D :D :D
