Where’s the dragonfly?

While I was sitting out on my porch watching the hummingbirds Sunday afternoon, I noticed something on a limb in the top of a Wax Myrtle that was 15-20 feet away.  I looked at it through the camera and saw it was a dragonfly.  I shot this image from that distance … the first is the full size image and the second is a tight crop of the image centered on the dragonfly.
