Upgrade to e2
Tired of clicking to see a large version? Upgrade to e2 to browse all photos automatically at their largest size.I popped down to the Reserve next door a couple of evenings ago,looking for Damsels & Dragons...not that many around 
but I did spot this little chap resting on a grass stem during his very short life !
Even these close up are interesting 
Made me smile when I looked close & spotted his wee crash helmet
I used a touch of fill flash to better isolate him from the bg.
F6.3 manual mode
1/320th sec with fill flash..handheld
ISO 400
Pattern metering...should have selected spot methinks !
F/L 105mm
Raw file converted in C1v4
Levels adjusted,slight crop all round for composition & border added in CS3
Thanks for taking the time to look/comment.
