Solitary dragon fly shot with my telephoto lenses; taking a "breather" from a very busy day moving from plant, to twig, to flower. Was having some difficulty photographing these elusive creatures with my macro lens, so I decided to "shoot" the dragon fly from a distance. Seemed to work out quite well.
