I like and enjoy all of your shots, but the second one really holds my attention. Wish you had included the original so we could download and study it more. But, I'll take what I can get.
Thanks for all these posts.
Chuck

Thanks Chuck, here you are, but it doesn't get any better or sharper, just larger & blurrier. Which again, is why I didn't store the original the first time.

These little guys are as fast as swallows & quite aerobatic. Watching them hunt is very much like watching a aerial dogfight.

And a couple of dragonflies that got away & hid out in the reeds.
A Blue Dasher & a Western Pondhawk

The Pondhawk was visible through a narrow opening in the reeds, but I was able to get the head in focus. So there is foreground bocah as well as the normal blur in the background.

Love that first shot, super sharp detail on the little guy!
