Another nice one Owen
Did you use center focus point on the head ? I just wondered why you went for this composition rather than focus / recompose to get the whole of the dragonfly in frame.
I can't see your exif but from the shallow depth of focus I was keen to see what the aperture / focal length and distance was.

Hi Phil I used AF-A focus and what you see is what I could get in frame, as I now only use a kit lens with close up filter I have to get pretty close to subject and this being quite a jumpy character it was difficult lol

If memory serves me correct I was on hands and knees about 2-3 inches from the subject...
