Macro of dragonfly on clothesline peg (1/160, f/11, ISO 640)

This dragonfly was a great model. She gave me time to go inside and change my battery, and then shake the garden gate that the clothesline was connected to without moving. I expected her to fly off but she let me get as close as only a foot away after I approached slowly.

Updated

I decided afterwards the picture gets nothing from the fly or the other half of the peg, so they got edited out in Lightroom.
