Dragonfly back of head 2073 (V58)

This is a view of the back of a dragonfly's head. I find it fascinating the way the back of the head is open, revealing the neck.

Shot with a Sigma EM 140 DG macro flash.

Nikon D200 ,Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8
f/20. 1/250. ISO 100. full exif

I, too, enjoy the rear view - one I've not seen before. What an alien-appearing creature! But then, we look just as odd to it.

Great close up, I've never seen the back of the head/neck in such detail before, fascinating.
