Back to the Black Swamp where I shot Dragonflys a few days back.
This seemingly very wet fellow was preening itself on a stump as I snuck up.
His ballet-like attitudes were quite comical as he flapped and fluttered his wings before taking off.
No1 is my favourite. Great pose and well isolated from the background, but the OOF shadow of the tree is enough to provide a sense of the environment. Everything about is is just right, a truly outstanding shot.

Thank you, John. Lots of OOF was necessary for separation in this shot as the backdrop was indeed a tangled mess.
A very nice catch Mark. I love these & the 3rd one looking like Daffy Duck meeting with some misfortune again.
Ross"I fiddle with violins (when I'm not fiddling with a camera)". My Flickr OM-1, E-M1 Mk II plus 100-400mm f5-6.3 IS, 7-14, 12-40 & 40-150 f2.8 Pro lenses, MC14 & 20.
Nice images, #1 is my favourite too. Can't work out quite what the last one is doing! David
Ross and David, thank you.
My favourite is #3 because its action is so offbeat as indeed was its behaviour.
It struck some curious poses in trying to dry its plumage.
I have no idea as to what bird it is ... surely not a cormorant this far from sea.
YES Huw, but the kit lens is the 14-40mm II R ... I think this upgrade was to optimize for both still and video.
Monday, 8:45AM here ... UPS tracking schedules it for delivery by end of day.
This is the one isn't it?
I have the MK 2 also but not the R version which is essentially the same optic but has a slight different exterior finish and firmware for the faster focussing bodies.
