Dragonfly egg-laying

A couple of images of an Emperor Dragonfly laying its eggs on water weed stems. I liked the ripples in the first shot and the Common Blue damselfly resting on the dragonfly in the second. I will have to have another go using a tripod with a slower shutterspeed to get a smaller aperture and hence more depth of field. These were 1/800th shutterspeed
and f7.1/f8 aperture.

Love the one of the damselfly hitching a lift on the dragonfly. Reminds me of the Space Shuttle doing the same on a 747!
