How do you get your subject to smile when you want to take a picture? This Blue Dasher dragonfly (Pachydiplax longipennis) didn’t need any prompting at all when I went in for an extreme close-up shot yesterday at McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area in Maryland.
Start each day with a smile.

Oh wow, amazing shot! You can see all the facets in the eyes!
Very nice! I was about to post a Blue Dasher with almost the same title, but I guess I will wait a while!
Say Cheese!
Superb shot, Mike!
Thanks, Jane. That shot always makes me smile.
