Due to soft and low natural light, and the fact that I couldn't (didn't have time to either) get my camera positioned on a tripod, I had to stop down and sacrifice some DOF. I still am very happy with the result.

Wow! what a great picture! I really like the vibrant colors you were able to capture in this one.

Dayum, that's one helluva picture considering the circumstances. Whenever I try and get some bug photography it never works out for me

The little buggers (pardon the poor word choice

) never sit still for me!

I'm not a bug person but this is a great shot. Great processing as well!!!

Was this guy shot "in the wild" or glued to the stick? I've been trying to get a good dragonfly shot for a while and all I get is blurry shots 'cuz I have to swing the camera around like a crazy person to try to keep the little buggers in the frame.

This was shot in the wild, early in the morning in very soft light. Very little post processing here, just a minor white balance adjustment to compensate for the fact that I shot it RAW.
