I think this is a Southern Hawker Dragonfly.
I noticed it on the garden path this evening. I approached it carefully and in some surprise, yet to my amazement it never flew away. Something was definately wrong, dragonflies do not, as far as I'm aware at least, sit on garden paths and let 6'2" tall humans walk right up to them and then NOT fly away. Yep, this poor fella had flown this mortal realm. How it came to end its life on my garden path I'll never know. Dead or not, I couldn't resist having a go at taking a few pictures. I need the practise, and my Angle Finder (90 degree viewfinder extension) arrived today so this was an ideal subject to try it out on and learn abit in the process. Thanks for looking and any comments you care to leave. RIP Mr/Miss/Ms Dragonfly. Canon 20 - Tamron 180mm macro + extension ISO200 F8.0 0.6" exposure Camera rested on a soft cushion and held as steadily in place as I could. Photoshop CS for colour enhancement, sharpening and border. Comments

 reports, 1d 9h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.53 WE.LOVE.ART.FEATURE.VII.HOLIDAY.SPECIAL.~allieweasley
