Huge Dragonfly

I know, not another dragonfly! Word must have gotten out amongst the dragonflies that I was taking free photos. This one was as big as my hand and landed right in front of me, so I had to take its picture.





If you are tired of looking at dragonflies, here is the Quiz Bowl team particpating in the 1st Annual World War II Competition at the D-Day Museum. They didn't win, but did a great job and had a lot of fun.

Wow... amazing image.
Gosh, this guy could eat you out of house and home! ;-)

Amazing detail - there's no way I could hope to get that close to one - fantastic shot.

Well, you sure couldn't pass that up. I love dragonflies. Great detail and clarity.

Happy with your dragonfly. Don't get too many here :)
Lee Rudd30-Apr-2005 07:24
some days you just have to! Exquisite detail, and it really stands out from the background.

Great capture... very detailed wings.
Pepe Zyman30-Apr-2005 06:13
Excellent detail! Good job!

Great shot of this big ol' gold one. They aren't as tame as the green ones.
Coleen Perilloux Landry30-Apr-2005 03:56
Great shot of this dragonfly and it must be a very healthy one because the black is so defined on it.

Oh Elaine I will have to come back down there! I forgot the museum was in N.O, Steve Ambrose was my hero and I know he did a lot of work on the DDay museum. I have a passion for WWII and DDay in particular.

BTW keep the dragonflies coming :)

Fabulous capture. Great detail and sharpness.
Gayle P. Clement30-Apr-2005 03:33
LOL at your commentary. You have gotten some really good shots lately.
Susanne30-Apr-2005 03:23
I do not think I would ever get tired of looking at them. They are so beautiful with their transparent wings and those nice glistening bodies. Nice capture. Very detailed.
Guest 30-Apr-2005 03:21
Wowzers! What a macro shot! I can't believe how close you got! Love the wings
Gary Winters30-Apr-2005 03:13
Wow! You caught that wingspan perfectly!
