hey, guys!here's a photo i took recently. it's a photo of a dragonfly. dragonflies are quite fun to photograph when you get used to their habits, and when they get used to you around them. you can even touch them (i'm serious) and they won't fly away.:) i took this with my nikon d70 and it's pop-up flash, in manual mode, aperture @ f/8, shutter speed at 1/250 and with my sigma 18-50mm @50mm, manual focus. let me know what you think. and, if you wanna see more of my pictures, my photoblog's address is: http://emtee-photo.blogspot.com ( it would be really nice if you'd click an ad on my blog. thanx). cheers!

I like the exposure and the depth of field. But I think for me, the photo will look more interesting if you moved the dragon fly more to the right and took a little of the face of the dragon fly.

Yes, they used to sit on my shoulder when I was about 9 years old. I would be very still looking in the water for crayfish to catch to feed my dog and the dragon flies were my little playmates in and near the water.
