Very pretty dragonfly and clear shot. I think the white spots on the eyes are interesting. I've never seen that.

Looks like junior is getting more impatient by the day :-) Much clearer shot (I even see a catchlight in mama's eye); I'm really glad you went back and got this.

I don't see red ones often around here so I'm glad you got such a nice, clear shot to share.

Beautiful detail here. Really nice the way the light is reflecting from those delicate wings.

This is a very clear shot for that range with a P&S. Your reshoot paid off in this shot. It looks like the fledgling is about ready to begin flying with it's parents to learn how to be an adult.
We have a pair of smaller woodpeckers that nest in the same tree in our yard every season. Limbs and leaves on the tree block having a clear view to the entrance to the nest though.

The Panasonic did a nice job of focus and capture for this scene. The P&S cameras seem to have the right stuff for close shooting. Color and overall sharpness is excellent in the area of focus.
I see that the same variety of dragonfly that we have here lives there as well, even though the climate is totally different in the winter.
