Lovely ..that is a different Bokeh; i think this will get many appreciation for its bokeh, as well for the dragon

Here's another from the same trip to the pond. I don't like this one as much, but the bokeh of the lilypads really brings it home for me.

These are stunning. Really like the last one.

Love them both - they can be the most frustrating things to try and photograph, I know, I just spend half a day last weekend trying - your images are sharp and the bokeh is great. My only question is what happened to the wings of the first one - he looks like he was drinking from someone's beer glass a bit too much :mrgreen:.

Definitely the most aggravating things in the world to photograph. These are 2 of about a billion shots I took at the pond yesterday morning.

Regarding the wings, I think it was a reflection from the scummy shallow part of the pond.

I was looking through the pics from the shoot, and I found another keeper.

Please remove the white patch towards the right bottom corner... and that will be a keeper

Edited the white spot out of the pic.
