Asian Pintail Acisoma panorpoides panorpoides—adult female.
This was photographed in my local patch a few days ago. It is often found quite low down among the vegetation. So it is not the easiest dragon to photograph.
By the way, one of my dragon shots emerged the winner as the Best Dragonfly Moments Macro Capture of 2008—in a contest in Flickr. Click here to see all the entries and the voting process and here to see the winning shot of mine announced.
A momentous day for mankind!

Hi Tabib,
Thanks a lot! This one can really stretch you - if you want to frame it close like this.
Don't you have this there?
Hi Larry,
Thanks a lot! I'am quite pleased with the captures. Glad you loved them.
I'm impressed!!...not surprised, though, Amila. You seem to have a natural talent here...this photo is amazing. A momentous day for mankind, indeed...they should've honored you with something...at least a bronze statue, yes?! Seriously, Congratulations!!(have I mentioned I'm jealous???)
Beautiful colors, photography and dragonfly! Congratulations on your winning.
Thanks a lot, Spookydragonfly!
Looking at some of the stunning shots posted there, I consider myself lucky...
he..he...glad I made you feel jealous *Dr. Evil's laughter*
Thanks a lot, Vickie!
The colour pattern of the Asian Pintal is quite eye catching. Its male is much nicer.
Congratulations! A well-deserved honor.
Thanks a lot Pat! I will consider it a pat on my back.
Well done Amila - and well deserved too. Congrats!
Congrats. I have really enjoyed your dragonfly photos, so it comes as no surprise to me whatsoever that you won this. Can't wait for the butterfly post.

Hope you are on the look out for that Crake.

Hi J.D,
Sorry I overlooked to reply you first! I agree, that blogging can at times be a pretty time consuming affair. And it is better to follow the middle path like in other things in life.
Thanks a lot for your compliments on my images. I will drop by your blog again for sure!
