Nice one Erik, almost a silhouette, wings almost stopped - you must have used quite short shutter time... (oh I see it on flickr page: 1/4000 so short indeed)
I like this one better than F36A4824_DxO_full - there the background is so plain it could have been photoshopped, while here the background has some 'texture' that makes the picture feel much more 'alive'...

Another series that once again proves that sitting ducks are sharper than flying ones..

I just figure out - I didn't post here for a wile. My contribution hardly can compete with the last photo from Erik but that's what I have (2 years old files).
Crocothemis servilia - Scarlet skimmer. The Yellow one is female. Male is red.

+1 to DSP121's comment!
Especially the male scarlet skimmer is very nice with the monochrome grey-ish background; it stands out very nicely!
