p.1 #1 · Trapped... Which works best?

Hello,

I recently was working on a study involving dragonfly thermoregulation (exciting?). Anyways, it led me to this idea for the monthly assignment (Jealousy).

Unfortunately it is not the easiest image to capture, and I think last weekend was the only chance I will have. Essentially sticking my hand in a butterfly net that has a trapped dragonfly, and then angling it towards my friend who is holding the net. These are the only decent captures, out of.. too many. As it turns out, dragonflies do not like holding still inside a net.

Thoughts/suggestions on which to use? They are not cropped.

Thank you,
Nick

Tough choice beteen 1 and 2. Mabye 2 is better for me because it has more dragonfly and detail in the wings.

What about a wider angle lens, so you get the whole dragonfly.

For me more of the dragonfly would be better. Scott

There is nothing my wife and I look forward to more than a nice quiet evening of studying dragonfly thermoregulation.

Along with what Scott said some more detail in the dragonfly's head and thorax would have helped.
