Thanks. I saw lots of this dragonfly in Kairakuen, in Mito, Japan. I could get very close with RF100-400.That's a new one for me. It's a beaut.

Beautiful pic, @bhf3737....I saw lots of this dragonfly in Kairakuen, in Mito, Japan. ...
That's the stuff of nightmares for me! Great photo!
Thanks for that. I didn't realise I have been seeing two different types, I just thought it was the light on the day.It's a male Beautiful Demoiselle. The Banded Demoiselle has well-defined bands on the wings, as on these taken on my R7 + RF100-400mm recently. The bottom one is backlit, which shows up the bands as very dark.

love the second one
Thanks, guys!I really like the second one also.
If it's at mfd, very low dof and that angle, it might perhaps be better to crop and just show the face and forelegs - what do you think?A skimmer on a wooden bridge railing.
