Dragonfly in the Late Afternoon Sun

I found this dragonfly one afternoon during my recent trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, August 31, 2006. My friends and I stood around in a sunny field, waiting for dragonflies to land, and then used fill flash (bracket holding flash above the camera, set at minus 2 to help open up the shadows) to capture the moment. This was the only dragonfly that I was able to catch that afternoon on "film."
