These things are soooo cool. I'm amazed at the variations in colors these seem to have. I got a similarly detailed shot of a nice bright blue one recently.

Looks weirdly double-jointed ;-) And almost like she's batting her little eyes at me.

So sharp, great colours, would like a tiny bit more DOF.

Jimmy glared angrily across the foliage at his flight instructor. For months the guy had been on his case. For months he'd done everything possible to make sure that Jimmy wouldn't pass. Now, it was the day of the test, and Jimmy had been sent to platform 20, a platform well known for its existence in a troublesome area of cross-winds. A platform that had been the site of many a devastating and tragic crash.

This was to be where Jimmy was to perform his final flight evaluation. It was a set-up designed to see him fail.

Well that failure would not be his. Not today. The instructor would rue the day that he had messed with Jimmy the Dragon. Today, he would FLY. Jimmy flexed his wings, set his face in a hard and determined glare, and launched into the air...

Flame on! Lovely shot, and you were fortunate to get the shot with all of them lit up. The sky is perfect too in this shot.
