CALOPTERYX SPLENDENS , these are very difficult to expose correctly, just too reflective!
they are very large, bigger than the white face darter dragons.
first frame is a femail which is more green in colour, rest of shots are all males.
hope you like them

Hard to find fault with these, Phil. Well done. #1 and #3, in that order, are the best shots, IMO. Wish I could spot them here...never seen one in TX.

Wonderful series Phil - I couldn't get within 2 feet of the few demoiselles I saw in Cornwall!

Very well dealt with Phil, you are right about the difficulties with reflections I always struggle with these as well.

Lovely series Phil, not an easy subject but beautifully taken, think for me its another vote for the third one.
