Nothing wrong with the dragonfly shots but the lilly shots are super. I Particularly like the 1st of the three.

Great colours of the dragonfly Barrie, also nice detail.
The Lillie's look like Monet painting that's the first shot. John.

Thanks Pops and John.

I rather like the first of the lilies too followed by the last. Ann1e prefers the second.

We spent quite a while watching and biding our time to photograph the dragons as they were quite aware of our presence. We were quite amazed when they were flying over the water in watching one catch a fly whilst on the wing.
