superb photos Hoy, what lenses are you using?, I use a Canon 100 mm f4 macro lens, but working distances can be too close to the subject , then it flies off, dragonflies are usually never in the right place to get very close , well done
Hi Oy
My congrats too - great pictures.
And Robin has hit the nail on the head when he mentions fieldcraft. Too many people think that you can simply point a camera at a butterfly, pull the trigger and get a top photograph. Knowing your butterfly and its behaviour patterns greatly increases your chances of success! There is absolutely no substitute for fieldcraft.

Hi Hoy, I can see the advantage of the extra working distance you get with the 150mm lens, one last question did you use flash on the darter? noticed a highlight on the eye, but there is no light fall off in the background
excellant photos
