Dragonfly Head Shots

I have managed to get some close-up shots of dragonflies and some of these shots include head-shots. Here are some of my best head shots. An Adult Slender Skimmer.

Out in the sun, near a puddle of rainwater were about ten young Slender Skimmers. All of them were tough to shoot but still, one of them gave me a chance to photograph it, by resting motionlessly on the grass. Yes!

The next Dragonfly is the Dawn Dropwing. I really wanted to get head-shots of both the male and the female, but unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting shots of the male's head. These next two shots were taken long ago, even before the Slender Skimmers had arrived.

These are great shots. I'm working on a painting featuring a large dragonfly head and this is just what I needed to see. Thank you!
