Dragonfly hanging on in the wind by

I was extremely timely to have found this cute little fellow. I was able to shoot, at times 1:1! However, this photograph shown here was not shot at the closest range, because a larger view shows a more dynamic view of the dragonfly trying to balance against the strong wind. This has action and life’s force. Its determination was commendable. Survival needs more than agility and skill; it needs determination. It had to continuously change posture according to the wimp of the wind direction; angled its wings and tightening the claws helped to provide additional stability.
