Stunning quality, possibly 1 stop smaller to sharpen the tail.

Needle like Sharpness of those transparent wings anchors the image. Well produced. tg

Lovely Shot.

You are right it is a Male Migrant Hawker. The yellow tee shaped marking on the top segment, wing edge brown and indistinct yellow marking on body behind eyes I think would match the details. The female apparently has more brown markings and the other similar Hawkers would have more distinct yellow markings across the body behind eyes.

cheers,

Jez

Cracking macro, yes the tail tip is not quite in focus but the rest is pin sharp.
