This is not a good identification photo. I have lots of those. But this is among my favorite photos of a favorite dragonfly. The \u201cHay, what\u2019s up?\u201d pose, the angle of the light, and the interesting background just combine to make me smile. And a smile is good on a Sunday, Father\u2019s Day. I hope all you fathers are smiling\u2026and all you children of fathers as well. Nikon B700 at 1440mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
