Thanks Pauline, I must admit when this big fella perched right in front of me my heart nearly stopped!

Thankfully I bagged the image that I have been wanting for the last 10 years or so. It could be a long time before I get another chance like this with this species!

A fantastic shot and with the long-standing quest/obsession attached to the image, a great story!

Thanks guys, I doubt very much if I will get another Dragonfly image this year that betters this one, not really because of its quality, more in terms of what it meant to me to get it.
