I am not really a Macro guy.. But just couldn't resist photographing DragonFly while I was out in some fields few days back. It was not from a dedicated macro lens, I had a Sigma 70-200 Macro in my hand, and took some shots, this is one of them.

Nice shot! The colors of the seed head, background and subject really coordinate nicely.

That's a beautiful shot, very clean. If I were to nitpick, there's a lot of empty space above the dragonfly.
