This is a dragon fly in the top of this tree. I am shooting a 100-400 lens. I still cropped more to see what detail there is. The next photo will show the tree as I took the picture. The tree was about 18 ft tall. You can tell by the y that it is not just a whip.

Thanks for whatever help you can give. I know it is a poor picture. I have never seen a dragonfly that large. It was much larger than a whitetail.
