Dragonflies

Photos of dragonflies taken on a recent trip to South Africa. I don't know the individual species but I think that blue one is a Dorsal Drop-wing (sounds like a fighter plane) Brian

The detail for one, the contrasting color between the dragon fly and the branch that it is on, AND mostly the detail of the dragonfly itself (the wings)

While this are nice close-up photographs, none are macro-photographs. Your APS-C sensor is only 22.3-mm wide (< 1-inch), and each of these dragonflies is at least 75-mm long (3-inches). A true macro image would capture just 1/3 of each insect.
Please re-post these close-up photos to the Main Photography Section.

Love the detail in the wings. Love that they are "primary colors" and bright.
