I haven't seen one of these before, so I was really pleased I was able to capture it, they don't like posing for photos, and tend to fly off as soon as you get near.
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)
I really appreciate all your comments, thank you so much. I'm only sorry I've not got time to respond. I do read all the comments and will try to answer any questions you have about my posts :)
FANTASTIC DETAIL, BRAVO

@badala: Thank you badala :)
Excellent ! I like the dragonfly's expression... I feel the intelligence communication by the nature.

@NickyJ: Thank you Nicky :) I was like a wild woman chasing the little blighters, lost my footing a couple of times, and nearly ended up in the pool lol.
Wow! You did well to get this as my experience tends to be that they have flown away before you have pressed the shutter.

@Paul@Sydney Webcam: Many thanks Paul :) I'm with you on that one, they don't hang around, thankfully this one did, I got two shots this one and a blurry one, so I was very lucky!

This is an amazing shot. I've never seen this dragonfly before.

@ling: Thank you ling, :) it is the first time that I have seen them too!
First time saw this kind of dragonfly. Nicely done! Panasonic DMC-FZ7 can support conversion lens, that mean you can try to add Hoya Closeup +4 Filter for even nicer macro shot!
