Dragonfly on my roof..

With only a 55mm on the telephoto end, I thought this shot was hopeless, the pretty little thing wouldn't let me get close enough for a really tight shot.

Turns out it was only nearly so. ;)

This is an actual crop, no sizing.

This baby is about half the size of the hummers we get buzzing around.

1. This is a fine, fine photo!

And I really like the shadows of the dragonfly's body!

3. You have a good eye..

I used Contrast Mask, Local Contrast Enhancement and High Pass Sharpening plugins from this site..

All the filters there are free, some of them are quite useful for bringing out otherwise hidden details.
