Hanging On!
You are probably going to get tired of looking at dragon fly pictures (and yes, I have a couple more to post)! This little bugger was hanging on tight to a blade of grass in my back yard, blowing in the wind. Yes, I do think he needs a shave!


Sigma 50mm f2.8 EX DG macro lens; ISO 400; f7.1; 1/200; hand held; sunshine; cropped.

  Bravo Ron! I love shooting these elusive guys too, and you got wonderful detail for a handheld shot under windy conditions. I know what its like to chase after these guys and carefully move into position, just to have them fly off at the last second.

Good job!
