I was asked if this could be published 1 day after I had sent it in as a readers photo.

Interesting capture. Very difficult achievement. Well done.
Thinking about it I have to ask, was it hard to keep the dragon in focus as it came toward you?

Actually the Dragonfly just stopped right in front of me at about 7 feet, I used manual focus at 280 mm with my 70-200 f/2.8 VR with a 1.4TC. Took about 10 shots and only 4 came out worth anything. Right place and right time.Thinking about it I have to ask, was it hard to keep the dragon in focus as it came toward you?

Congratulations. Great job with the dragonfly. I have yet to get a decent one sitting still let alone flying at me.

Great job and a lot more difficult once you try to get one in flight. :thumbup:
