I took this yesterday using a Nikon D3100 and Sigma 105mm f/2.8 ex dg os hsm macro lens.

Nice and crisp Hassan. I've got that lens and it's a great bit of kit.

Guess there may be a few people (not me) who are going "Eh, Welsh Harp, what's that?!?!"
Not wanting to be a pedant but it's a damsel fly too.

Lovely shot. The whole body in focus too. Well done

hehe, MML beat me to it but it's not uncommon to mistake a Damsel for a Dragon.

[Bilbo_baggin]

Great colours too. Well done.

Paul.

[the ghost]

great colours well done dont want to sound pedantic but it a Damson

easy way to tell Dragons when still wings spread out in a x formation
Damsons wings run down the body

Guys,

Thanks for all the input and the education in nature.

QfanaticQ, I'm putting pure luck down for that shot, I must've taken 100s of shots which were all out of focus.

Btw, Welsh Harp is a reservoir near Wembley. http://www.brent.gov.uk/services-for...rp-open-space/

Fantastic!

We get lots of these in Wanstead Park/Epping Forest.

My best effort with an iPhone last summer...
