A Happy Grenadier in the Tropics

The adapted lens used here for this shot seemed to be back focussing. So, after locking focus, there was a need to move forward until the face of the dragonfly was sharp before shutter release. With gusts of wind moving the twig, it had taken a couple of failed tries before I could nail the shot.
