Got to within 2 inches of this dragonfly. He was eying me up, landed on a bit of decking at a local park

Pretty close and pretty sharp....not bad :)
Really nice "background" on the first shot too, really like that one.

I only do careful levels/crop/NR/colorba​lance, if needed. Thats just my philosophy, to each his own.
You're welcome to check my photoart (fotokonst in swedish) at http://sebastianfoto.s​e/ (external link)
Its swedish, but just press the menu at top for cathegories and view the photos.
I have a Canon S3 with two Raynox closeup lenses.

Nice pics of it - looks like a friendly little darter to me, always a joy to see and photograph and one of the friendliest you are likely to find :-)
