Such a delicate insect, Ina. They're lovely to watch around a pool. Wonderful shot.

@eddy: Thanks Eddy!
It is really cool that you were able to stop his wing action at 1/2500!!!

@Craiger: I was following your adivce Graiger! You mentioned earlier that you can 'stop' bee wings at 1/2000... so I thought I will move it up a bit since this lady moved faster than lightning! Thumbs up for Sony DSC-H7/9!
Very nice!

@Barbara: Thanks Barbara!
Wow! Very good frozen movement! And with such details!!! Excellent! Gabriela

@Japanalia: Thanks Gabriela!
lovely shot Ina - impressed that you managed to freeze the wings *and* optimize DOF to capture this fast-moving gogga in sharp focus. The swimming pool blue gives an impressionistic (watercolour) background which is much more interesting than the alternative of a flat blue sky. This image makes me think of dragonflies embroidered on Chinese silk brocades.

@baobab: Ahhh! Thank you, you make it sound sooo nice! This will look nice on Chinese silk!
absolutely ArtistiC! I Like it,, Nicely done...
