We sat for probably 30 minutes watching a dragonfly tempting a turtle on a log. The turtle was watching it and probably dreaming of a tasty bite. We laughed saying what a great picture it would be if the dragonfly landed on the turtles nose. So we sat with the camera focused on the turtle for a long time just waiting for the magic moment. And it happened. We were so excited to get the picture we hoped for.

Looks like the turtle and dragon fly are "posing".

Was the turtle's back feet off the log the entire time or did he move when the dragonfly landed? Great capture.
