Got lucky on a trip to the Mercer Arboretum and caught this guy perched on a water lily bud. All comments welcome. >=))>

Outstanding detail in that male Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis), Bill. The clarity in the larger version is amazing, I think I can count every hair on his body. The lily bloom makes a fine perch as it both stands out and blends well color wise with the background.

As Mark said, the detail in the larger image is excellent, Bill. I love the pose and especially the way you captured the DF "hugging" the bud. The blue, yellow, and green colors in the DF are dazzling.

Hi Bill,
Pretty sharp and as Mark stated outstanding detail. Color is very impressive too and the comp is quite good. The larger view is a must see ..............................Jim

Tack sharp view in the LP Bill, great DOF and color/light.
That water lily bud makes for an excellent perch, nice!
