Pivot and Smile

I encourage you to zoom in on the patterns/intricacies of this eye, if at all possible. Dragonflies are such interesting creatures with beautifully complex structures and often-interesting/interested personalities. This feller was on top of the antenna of my car yesterday, and reacted very positively to my desire for a photoshoot.

 

Almost every time that I've gone to take pictures of a dragonfly, they have responded by being just as curious about me as I was about them. This one was no exception, repeatedly leaving his perch and returning to land at a different angle and examine me, with lots of rapid head movements.
