Dragonfly resting in fall sun.

Florence from Paris, France

Nice autumnal colours... but I would have liked a sharpen focus on this wonderful dragonfly's eyes.

@Florence: Thanks Florence - yes I agree I have not yet managed to capture the detail of the eyes in any of my dragonfly shots - ah well more reason to practice...

Très difficile à capturer ... ultra rapide comme bête ! Superbe macro !

@faon: Merci - généralement rapide, mais le chaud soleil de cette période de l'année de repos les trouve très souvent à absorber la chaleur.
