Excellent pictures! All beautifully done with careful focus from front to back, and pleasing, out of focus backgrounds. I see that like me, you like Odonates.

Excellent images, I can never find a dragon fly that will sit never mind get shots like these. How did you manage to catch them on the ground?

Well done

Thanks guys! I'm glad you like it :)

@Liney, I catch them early in the morning. Then they are not moving until they get warm up by the sun.
Look at the example of a butterfly I found early in the morning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K1Pzbqsqk4

That Sigma 180 is doing you a fine job, great background and wonderful details. I am always amazed, not only at damselflies but dragons flies as well as to their body plan. Wing spots are a curiosity, do they have a paint brush gene similar to that of D. melanogaster or might they even have the exact same gene, which turns these spots either on or off via molecular switches in the DNA? So many questions, so little time remaining, what good then will knowledge be? :smt017
