Dragonfly
#1

I've been trying to catch images of dragonflies in my garden but found they are too quick in the morning. However, later on in the day they seem to settle down around 5-6 pm. to catch the evening sun. Is this because they are tired out after all that flying?

Three good shots of dragonflies there, John. I'm not quite so keen on the backgrounds in #1 and #3, so #2 is my favorite of the set. They never seem to keep still, so thank you for the timing tip!

Cheers.

Well done, I would clone out the two "Spare" twigs on the middle one? Ed.

To each his own!
