Dragonflies are fun to photograph.  When I was living in Florida, I saw a ton more than here in California.  These blue ones are so interesting to look at.  Great detail in the head here.  How far were you from this dragonfly?

Not as close as i wanted to be, may be between two and three feet so some cropping which is ok on the D810, i will get some extension tubes for the 105mm this year, i tried a Nikon TC 1.4 II on the 105mm but the IQ dropped so much it was´nt worth it!
On my wish list this year is the old Nikon 200mm macro which should get me a bit closer :-)

We all start of at the same place, practice will evolve into a keener sense of what to look for, where to look for it and how to shoot it :-)
