Not much of a macro shot but thought I'd post anyhow.
I was out shooting wildlife when this dragonfly pitched in front of me so I couldn't help from snapping a shot. Not sure of the name so if there's anybody that can ID this one it be appreciated. C&C welcome, thanks for looking.

Woah... tons of lines. The wood grain accents the wing pattern nicely. I like it!

The markings or pattern on the dragon are brought out beautifully in your shot frank.
Lovely texture on the wood too, nice one.
