Ray, what a fantastic macro shot! the colors, the lighting, the detail all are amazing! These dragon flies are so small and you captured it wonderfully. How did you manage this shot?

@Marion: Hi Marion. Thanks for your comment. Handheld, balancing on one foot on a narrow concrete retaining wall of a wastewater treatment plant at one end of Bangkok's Lumpini Park...I think I fitted a 25mm extension barrel between the camera and the 100mm f2.8 lens which increases the magnification factor, but narrows the DoF. Security guards couldn't decided if I was a terrorist or a barking mad foreigner, but left me alon in case I was dangerous.
