Some Recent Dragonflies
Lens: sigma apo Camera: K-M Photo Location: NE TN 

Have been trying my hand at some local Dragonfly species lately. Would appreciate any critique/comments. Thanks!

Female Common White Tail:


Male Widow Skimmer:



And a Female Blue Dasher:



PS - for some reason the name of the lens did not come through properly - it's the Sigma APO "Macro" 70-300mm.

Love everything about the second, and the colors in the first! I think the first would be better as a vertical

All are well done.
The bokeh in each very appealing, and very vibrant in #1 indeed.
For a series of results from a consumer lens, these are excellent.
Kudos to you.

Adam - Thanks so much for your kind and helpful comments. I will try re-editing #1 as a vertical.

Ash - So glad you enjoyed these! I am very impressed with this lens in the semi-macro range, but not at all as a distance lens...
