This is a 4 spotted dragonfly - which is the State of Alaska's state insect.

That DOF is so thin! I like the surface you have that DF on, it is truly a compliment to his colour and textures.

sharp and clear face there, beautiful coloring... longer dof over the tail maybe?

what is it setting on? that is a lovely bg, looks like ice almost..

never knew the state has an insect, ours (VT) must be the housefly or the horsefly.
this time of year...arrrggghhh

Well, I know the state bird is the mosquito, but I too didn't know there was a state insect. ;-Þ

Where are the four spots?

States have an official insect? Ya learn something new everyday. Great low angle, sharp focus and DoF.

State insect!?! Don't kill it or you'll be in mucho trouble! ;-) Maybe just a little more DoF for the tips of the near wings would be enough!
