Awesome capture Alan! We had a male and female in a local pond this spring, but i never managed to get a pic of the female. Not as colourful as the male, no doubt about that, but great to see this beauty - thanks :t::t::t:
 
She is a bit of a plain jane by comparison but you've done her proud Alan. Sorry haven't had much net access lately to keep up with your posts.
