Painted Skimmer Dragonfly

I was going through my backup hard drives cleaning out unneeded files when I found this image of a male Painted Skimmer Dragonfly. This was taken at my pond years ago with a 300mm f/4 lens on a Canon 7D. Image taken @ f/11 to try to get a little more detail in the far wingtips.

  Thanks Belinda! Lately I have not photographed too much lately because the feel like temperatures were over 100 degrees and was miserable to be outside!
