Re: Dragonfly detail
Nope, it's a live shot. I seldom shoot dead bugs unless they are fresh kills and being consumed by another bug or bird. Here is another shot of the same dragonfly taken a couple of minutes later.

Re: Dragonfly detail
I was actually thinking a frozen one...or one baited with honey so it will stay longer in one place...Good shot! A different angle. How close is your lens to this beauty? Just curious...

Re: Dragonfly detail
Well, dragonflies are hunters so honey wouldn't do too well in luring them except perhaps by luring other bugs. Nothing much stays frozen in FL and I don't do that to my subjects. Originally Posted by IzzieK
