The face-off

Seen in a wooded area on our way out of Constitution Gardens.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Wow…he seems ready for battle. He seems to be staring you down. Excellent shot. V

What an amazing face! I hope when you see wonders like this you will have a greater appreciation of the marvelous design of insects - and make a little less intimidated by them. After photographing them for many decades I've learned that I have to worry about only a few of them! V.

Nice portrait love his expression and soft light green coloring on the face.
Nice wing detail and soft bokeh background.

Nice sharp head on shot, Tim. He's a veteran Dragonfly I'd say! V
