Greens, Blacks, and Yellows
So many dragonflies on Exminster Marshes today. I'm not normally an upbeaty romantic kind of person, BUT it's a privilege to be alive and walk amongt the dragonflies as they flit back and forth along the streams and ponds. I haven't seen one this colour before. I saw lots of dragonflies today that I haven't seen before. This one was my favourite though. Hoping to get some of him flying towards me............
N.B. This wasn't even taken with my macro lens. I took this with my Sigma 70-200mm f2.8. It's okay at macros, but nothing like as good as my Sigma 150mm macro.

I think that a close up only - not macro.
The dragon flies is so beautiful.

fantastic focus and composition. Easy peasy I bet with such stationary subjects (not!)!
