Normally you want to see the creature's eyes, but I thought seeing the dragonfly's wings from the back showing the structure and translucency in flight is pretty cool.
This is a REALLY early shot with my old NEX-7 with the amazingly good 18-200 APS-C lens. First shot of a bird with that camera and I think it handled it very well. I went on to use it for much more wildlife.
This is a big crop and it still held up great, IMO. I am showing it at 2000 pixels, sorry, but I wanted to show it at full 100%.
Wish Sony would have come out with upgraded NEX-7, instead of the 6xxx line! Again, just my opinion.

Looking out my Kitchen rear sliding door at Canada Geese in Retention Pond, Breinigsville, PA.
I'm learning how to BIF. BIFing is hard. My first fairly presentable shot. Still playing with shutter speeds and exposure settings. I preferred to have maybe 1/2000 for this but didn't have time to set it before the subject took off.
