Eastern Pond Hawk

Against a Palm leaf, this bright blue Dragonfly just jumped out from the background. This was at a regional outing today.

Nice use of the flash. Can't tell it was used. Just the right amount.

Very nice and sharp with a a great background. It really pops out at you.

I like it Mark, good capture. The focus is great through-out as are the colors. Many that I see seem faded compared tot his fellow.

[BobWilliams]

Mark, the color is remarkable--so much brighter than what I am used to seeing.

Good one. I like the way the angles repeat too.
