Good work!

Spent an hour out in the hot sun hunting for dragonflies. Thanks for the inspiration!

Cracking sharp image.

I see it's sporting a bit of damage to it's starboard aileron.
Hopefully it hasn't affected its ability to maneuver.

I am getting ready to post some dragonfly photos and now I have second thoughts.
Fantastic shots!!

All the time I was shooting with my FA 100 yesterday I kept thinking I would love more reach. I also used my Sigma 100-300 f4 which does a great job but..... If can find an FA or A 200 macro for the right price its mine. It is actually the first on my to buy list. I need that lens and thats not LBA talking.

Hi OrenMc , thank you for your comment, I hope that you find one of these 200 macro Pentax, are rare and very expensive, but worth all the money spent...

#1 looks nearly 3D. That's amazing stuff. Looks like the red baron got a bit of that one's wing.
