I spotted this dragonfly when I was shooting flowers last summer. I didn't have my zoom lens with me, so I had to get really close to get a decent shot of him with my 60mm macro lens. Fortunately, he didn't mind posing at all!

  AWESOME capture, Sam! I don't have a macro lens right now, so that is how I get my close-ups too. Not with dragonflies... they REFUSE to pose for me! LOL. This is just astounding!
